Mekong (9/4), Natural History (7/2), Ben Vrackie (7/2), Soto Sizzler (9/2), Persian Lion (11/2), Elegiac (7/1), Rude Awakening (10/1), Dramatic Queen (14/1), Sea Youmzain (16/1)
A competitive start to the card where it isn't easy to write off any of the field. Ben Vrackie is an improving colt who now switches to a handicap from his second in a Group 3 last time. However, this will not be easy from a mark of 104 and he may be vulnerable. The suggestion is NATURAL HISTORY, who won what was admittedly a weaker race with some authority last time and looks as though he will get this trip. He will need to improve, but that looks more than likely. Persian Lion is an interesting contender, with Dramatic Queen, Mekong, Rude Awakening and Goodwood winner Soto Sizzler all very much respected.
