A richly-endowed auction race which has attracted eight entries from the UK, including the top six on the card. Star Of Orion has a rating of 94 after finding 7f just too far in a York nursery. He has to concede 4lb to Jim Bolger's Eastern Voice, who is rated just 1lb behind, but has much more scope. Night On Earth has won a couple of minor races and had Secret Handshake four lengths behind at Lingfield while Igotatext could prove best of Archie Watson's pair though he only had two to beat in a Yarmouth nursery last time. SHARK TWO ONE came up against a promising type at Newmarket and should make a bold bid for Richard Fahey so gets the vote in a very tricky contest.
