In depth
Verdict
The paddock will be a reliable guide to how many of these have progressed from two to three, but the one to be on here is Ed Dunlop's Marfooq. He shaped with plenty of promise on two starts in good company last year and has reportedly been working well on the gallops in preparation for this. The danger is Mick Channon's Moarban, who showed a deal of promise on his debut behind the smart Trade Fair, but disappointed on his only subsequent start. Brian Meehan has an impeccable record in this race, and saddles the unraced Dusk Dancer here, with Pat Eddery booked to ride. Any market move would be very significant.
