With four runners, Richard Hannon seems determined to take home a big percentage of considerable prize money yet again. He has won the last two renewals but He’Zanarab has a small penalty having won a Class 3 event over course and distance last month and Masaru may lack the experience to cope with a big field like this. The filly KODYANNA is much respected as she won a nursery over 5f here last month and was then second in a Group 3 over this trip at Deauville. She looks the pick of Richard Fahey’s trio. William Haggas, who won the race three times between 2012 and 2014, has just the one entry but Fanaar may have just needed his recent run at Yarmouth and is now blinkered. Oberyn Martell has won at Sandown and Salisbury but was behind the selection last time. Secret Venture made a winning debut and has the scope to do better so can’t be ignored.
