Jaayiz was winning earlier in the year but has been done no favours by the draw and the latter comment also applies to both Menthe Pastille and Al Jaroud. Pierre-Charles Boudot partnered Lady Walli to victory here last year but sticks with the unexposed SUNBEAM today and the latter gets a tentative vote in first-time headgear despite stablemate Bring The Action winning at Machecoul back in March. Canada, Circle Of Hands, Dream Life and Mantega are others with a chance of sorts in something of a lottery.
