This is traditionally a strong handicap although it’s unlikely to throw up one as good as the 2015 winner – Jack Hobbs – who went on to finish second in Derby and win the Irish version of that race. The last ten winners of this have all finished first or second last time out so that throws the Gosden pair NASEEM and Glencadam Glory right into the frame. The former is just preferred of the pair from a yard that have started the season well. Century Dream may well step forward on his handicap debut with Anythingtoday another one representing the strong bunch of handicap debutantes to throw into the mix.
