Formscan By Michael Graham - Several of these horses are unproven over this staying trip, so a chance is taken on BLACK GEM. During his career in France, he finished runner-up over the same trip on the all-weather track at Chantilly and he races here off a sliding mark. Numidia delivered over course and distance in November and is capable of popping up again for Peter Lawlor. If Benavente stays, he would be threatening in this grade. He does have a couple of victories over 1m4f at this venue in the book. Power Of Prayer and Gallo Dell Cielo are both trying this distance for the first time, but will have their supporters. Veteran Jake Peter could outrun his odds in first-time cheekpieces.
