Kinross beat Pogo, Sandrine, Al Suhail, Sacred and Jumby when successful in this contest last year. He easily beat Audience when fending off the challenge of Isaac Shelby in the Lennox at Goodwood earlier in the month and another bold bid is expected. The latter should have the measure of fellow three-year-olds Olivia Maralda and Covey but a chance is taken on MUTASAABEQ (NAP). Charlie Hills’ charge has been competing at the highest level since making all in a Group 2 over a mile at Newmarket in May and having won four of his five previous attempts at today’s trip, he can go in if allowed his own way in front.
