Richard Hannon bids for his seventh winner in the last nine renewals and runs Dubawi Gold. The latter returns from a disappointing effort at Meydan, but more pertinent to today was his inability to produce his trademark turn of foot in testing ground at Longchamp last September when fourth in the Prix Du Moulin. He looks vulnerable on that score with FAMOUS NAME in the field as the latter is perfectly at home on today's surface and Dermot Weld's multiple Group 3 winner has already kick started his season with a Listed win at Leopardstown. He gets the nod here given Side Glance has yet to race on soft ground let alone heavy and is attempting to reverse recent running at Doncaster with the winner Penitent and runner-up Questioning. Libranno is a Group 3 winner over 7f but today's extra furlong and underfoot conditions will stretch his stamina to the limit and Cochabamba is readily overlooked in this company.
