This race has been won by some smart types in recent seasons. It remains to be seen whether this year's edition follows suit but some of the runners have already shown clear promise, notably C&D scorer MILPAT and Ayr runner-up Hidden Mountain. Based on yard stats, Bite The Bullet and Vadalix are particularly interesting contenders among the newcomers.[Steve Boow]
