Stratum keeps finding one too good and may be worth opposing again, even though he's likely to start favourite. Twobeelucky was placed in all three starts last year but hasn't raced since November and the pair face a trio of nicely-bred debutants who should all be effective over this sort of trip. Luca Cumani won this last year and El Vip is a half-brother to three winners. Togetherness should also have a future but ACRUX is a half-brother to the top-class Main Sequence, who did well for David Lanigan before winning the Breeders' Cup Turf in 2014 for Graham Motion – he can make a winning start.
