Those with racecourse experience were all well beaten on their debuts and this can go to a newcomer. Bold And Loyal’s dam is a half-sister to Enable and Ryan Moore does the steering while Jim Crowley’s presence takes the eye on BORNTOBEALEADER. The latter is a half-brother to four winners and gets a speculative vote in this. Incumbent’s winning relative won over 1m4f while Percolate is related to a host of winners and is preferred to La Pulga.
