Mootasadir (4/6), Blenheim Palace (5/1), Numerian (5/1), Antilles (10/1), Fresnel (12/1), Massif Central (14/1), Harriet's Force (40/1), Altair (40/1)
NUMERIAN can take advantage of the race conditions to pick up some valuable black type for connections who have patiently watched this colt improve all season culminating in his best effort last time out at The Curragh over 1m2f. Last season's winner Mootasadir showed his well-being with an excellent effort at Kempton last time out over 1m4f. This step back in trip will hold no fears and he can be expected to give a good showing. Aiden O'Brien has won this race five times in the past ten years and he sends out Antilles and Blenheim Palace. The latter is probably the form pick of the two and may relish this step back in class after struggling in much better grade.
- Numerian
