The usual plethora of runners from owner Marwan Koukash with Pacino looking to be the best of his quartet having shaped well on his last two starts since returning although there would still be doubts over his stamina at this trip. The draw may have foiled the aspirations of the lightly-raced Dalanijujo (looks best of the 3yo’s) and Olympic Conqueror but not the well-drawn SNOW OCEAN who is well placed to execute his prominent tactics that saw him run well at Sandown last time. Power Of States has claims on his last run although he could do with some help from the handicapper while Mr Coco Bean is well handicapped if returning to form.
