A competitive opener to the Dante meeting in which CROWNED EAGLE looks capable of running well, particularly if granted an uncontested lead. Hamada is respected after a winning return at Wolverhampton last month. Island Brave has been running well on all-weather surfaces this winter and not out of this if he's as effective on turf.
