#2 Simply Maverick ended last season on a sour note, but he is better than that. He won three from seven at this course and distance in fine style during that campaign, all with Andrea Atzeni aboard, who partners him again here. #1 Supreme Agility was trending towards a win with more racing last term and is ready to take the next step. #9 Setanta races on a quick seven-day turnaround after a strong run into fourth behind Helene Warrior. He needs to improve on his Class 3 record, and his racing pattern works against him, but having a run under the belt is positive. #5 Star Contact is consistent, having placed in his last four runs.
