SKY PIRATE proved a different proposition dropped back to 2m last season, signing off with a career-best display when landing the Grand Annual here in March. Returning with his yard in good form, he's fancied to be firmly in the mix once more from this 7 lb higher mark. Before Midnight deserved his Chepstow victory marking up in the spring and he's feared most. Belargus completes the shortlist.
