MORE THAN LUCK is a dour stayer and will appreciate this test after finishing second over fences on his first start after wind surgery. Western Sunrise is in good form, and should prove the main danger, although Nemean Lion is capable of going close if jumping with more fluency, and he tends to go well here.
