Jim Bolger won the first two of these and Aidan O'Brien the latest two. The former has a pair of entries with Kevin Manning on board Manu Et Corde, brother to the useful middle-distance winner Change Of Velocity. Ballydoyle also have two entries; LUXEMBOURG is by Camelot and a half-brother to three winners and could be good enough though Shark Bay is by Australia out of a mare who produced a one mile winner with her first offspring. Johnny Murtagh's horses are going well and Chicago Soldier is related to five winners while Lucky San Jore's dam has produced ten winners from her 14 foals to race. Point Gellibrand is by Camelot out of a mare who has produced winners with all three offspring. Shinkansen has done nothing wrong but looks vulnerable and the remaining pair with experience have some improving to do.
