It seems entirely reasonable to assume that the trio will have this race between them as the line-up is completed by a pair of pacemakers, a doubtful stayer and a mare appearing to lack the class to land a blow at this level.

John Gosden was earnest in his recent declaration that his charge, Raven’s Pass, would not be fully tuned up for today’s race.
