BAY DREAM BELIEVER justified good support when resuming winning ways at Doncaster 2 weeks ago and a 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent her making a bold bid to supplement her victory in this contest 12 months ago. The refitting of a visor can see Young Fire in a better light and he's feared along with Light Up Our Stars. Infantry Officer shouldn't be dismissed lightly, either.

  1. BAY DREAM BELIEVER (IRE)
  2. YOUNG FIRE (FR)
  3. LIGHT UP OUR STARS (IRE)
