This has the makings of a cracking contest, with British raiders
Fire Fighting and
Elbereth adding real intrigue to a field that already included a quintet of interesting home contenders. With Smullen up, the talented Fire Fighting ought to give this a bold showing and he is respected having won on his only previous visit here. The filly Elbereth has beaten him before and was not disgraced in an Italian Group 1 when last seen while she gets a very helpful 2lb from the boys in this.
Stronger Than Me and
Shalaman may need to step up to figure while the consistent
Elleval finds winning hard.
Pique Sous is talented but has to prove this trip will suit and so the nod goes to
SANUS PER AQUAM for Jim Bolger. He was highly-tried in two runs last year and remains open to plenty progress as a four-year-old. Clearly a very talented son of Teofilo, he has enough about him to make a winning AW bow.
