The market will be useful when running the rule over the contenders and it will be particularly interesting if the ring speaks positively in favour of BALLABRACE whose yard is two from three with their bumper runners here in recent seasons and the gelding is related to a bumper winner in Ireland. Global Power has won a point in Ireland so clearly has some ability and appeals as a likely candidate whilst Divine Folly and Willy Be Lucky have made the frame in similar contests and are entitled to improve whilst the flat-bred Grey Cruzene is probably the most interesting of the remainder.
