Richard Fahey's trio are all scheduled to make a swift reappearance after running at Ayr on Saturday. Prime Exhibit finished ahead of Kaldoun Kingdom in the Ayr Gold Cup, while Sioux Rising was among the also-rans in the Silver Cup. They all have the form to figure if taking part but NASRI, a late withdrawal after being declared on Saturday, beat the latter at Musselburgh in April and subsequent runs in better company suggest he's the one to beat today. Atlantic Sport finished behind the selection in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood but earlier efforts give him every chance, though he is on a long losing run.
