Just the eight go to post but that doesn’t mean that this is an easy puzzle to solve with Iron Sky being the obvious improver although he has to prove he can get this fairly stiff mile having so far having won on sharp tracks. Neither Sioux Frontier nor CHINESE SPIRIT will want the ground to dry out that much but if the ground stays on the soft side both will be dangerous off their marks with the latter given the edge. Connections will be hoping that a first-time visor works as well as the first-time blinkers did for Fivehundredmiles this time around despite the fact he’s not been in good form. Inglorious is also knocking at the door but may need a lesser test to be seen at his best.
