A solid tempo on the cards with Drombeg Banner leading the way. PATCH OF THETA (3) brings some hot form into the race, running in two G1 races since his latest win in G3 company back on January 1st. He was favourite that day and was far too good. He is nicely weighted considering the circumstances here and the fact he hasn't bee disgraced in stronger grade. Can get back to winning ways. DIVANO (9) was a surprise in the Classic Mile before failing to run out the Classic Cup journey two back. He bounced back to form over 1400m last time out and while this is tougher, he gets in at the bottom of the weights. He draws well and can put his best foot forward. DROMBEG BANNER (7) is a scary proposition in this race. He was solid over 1200m last start and getting back up to 1400m is a better scenario for him. He'll roll forward, he has no weight on his back and he'll be very hard to run down. RUBYLOT (6) is an interesting runner coming back to 1400m. He loves this track and trip though and can play a major role.
