Master The World and Mr Owen are settle to do battle again in the finale here after the latter lost the race in the stewards' room in the Winter Derby last time out. He may have been collared by Master the World that day even without running around the shadow but he is more versatile than his rival and for that reason he's preferred for the places. However, STAR ARCHER is less exposed than many in here and he can be forgiven his run last time. He's one of only two four-year-olds in the line up and he had looked progressive in his previous all-weather runs. Utmost is the other of that age group and can't be ruled out, particularly if he can secure an easy lead.
