Naas

Winner of the two most recent editions of this race, Sunchart will have conditions to suit again and should not be lightly dismissed. However, preference is for two mares who bring strong credentials from the closing stages of last season. BESET has won over further than this and may employ superior stamina to hold off a likely challenge from Shaol who comes out best on RPR figures. With race-fitness on his side, Ribee could outrun his official rating to pose a serious threat. [Alan Sweetman]
