Most of these have won over track and trip before though that does not apply to recent Chelmsford winner The Dandy Yank. Baytown Kestrel won a similar event last year but ELECTRIC QATAR won this contest in 2014, beating Shawkantango and Monsieur Jamie, and has a decent chance of a repeat. The latter pair finished behind Arctic Lynx here last month and Conor Dore's charge can figure back in plating company while Alpha Tauri is another with a shout.
