Just the one winning favourite in the six previous renewals. Richard Fahey has won two of those but neither Supplicant nor Arctic Feeling arrive in great form and Gramercy carries 8lb extra after landing a double earlier this month. My Name Is Rio could only manage third last year off a 6lb lower mark while stablemate Mass Rally has a bit to find with Flyman on earlier running and Michael Dods' third runner DRAGON KING is preferred. The latter is penalised 5lb for winning at Newmarket last month but he did so by over three lengths and there could be more to come from the three-year-old. Recent winners New Bidder and Grissom step up in class but both Tiger Jim and Caprior Bere are at home in this grade and Go Far has a shout on his earlier third in the Stewards' Cup consolation race at Goodwood. Flyman is preferred of the O'Meara contingent and Kinglami and Mukaynis could go well but Bertiewhittle and Adam's Ale remain hard to win with.
