Verdict
This is a fantastic turnout for a non-graded race. Several of these were involved in a handicap a couple of weeks ago won by Nocturnal Affair from Monsieur Joe. Both are in cracking form but the race conditions greatly favour the third and fourth Inxile and PROHIBIT. The latter, last year's King's Stands Stakes winner, was having his first start for 144 days and with that under his belt can reverse the form with those who finished in front of him and take this. Regally Ready, a Grade 1 winner at Woodbine in October before taking the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs, had a prep run at Santa Anita in January though the Al Quoz on World Cup night is his main target. Sole Power is always capable of turning up at a big price as he did in the 2010 Nunthorpe so can't be totally dismissed.
