In depth

Verdict

Despite this taking place on the Turf track, European raiders don’t have a great record and it remains to be seen if Lost Treasure and Havana Grey can get involved. The Ballydoyle colt finished ahead of Karl Burke’s charge when fifth in the Prix de l’Abbaye last month though the latter won the Group 1 Flying Five at the Curragh before that. The first four home in last year’s renewal are back for more and the winner Stormy Liberal has been in fine form subsequently. He beat runner-up Richard's Boy again at Del Mar in August while DISCO PARTNER and Bucchero, third and fourth in 2017, also arrive on the back of victories. The former was beaten less than a length last year, despite having to be switched for a clear run, and it could be the turn of Christophe Clement’s charge today having romped home at Belmont last month. Conquest Tsunami ran his stablemate Stormy Liberal close at Santa Anita last time while the progressive World Of Trouble takes on older sprinters today and is preferred to stable companion Rainbow Heir.
