This usually attracts a strong turnout from the more powerful yards and only three favourites have obliged in the last 10 years. Mahmood Al Zarooni won last year's renewal and Frankie rides Derby entry Mariner's Cross rather than Mawhub while Paul Hanagan's presence on MUKHADRAM suggests he's preferred to Mawasem. Willie Haggas' 190,000gns colt is related to high-class pair Kirklees and Mastery and gets the speculative vote. Jockey bookings also point to Hill Street, Tenure and Gold Edition as the first choice of their respective yards with the latter one to keep an eye on with Johnny Murtagh in the plate. Morlotti's half-brother Luc Jordan won three times for Luca Cumani but his newcomers invariably need the outing and Sky Khan is another to note given his 235,000gns price tag.
