A competitive-looking Listed contest in which favourites have traditionally prevailed. OKEECHOBEE (7) made the frame in all six starts. Two from three over the distance gaining his fourth career victory this time last year in the G3 Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown and rates a key player when resuming. MILITARY ORDER (6) kept on nicely to deliver a penultimate start 1L triumph in a Southwell G3 last February prior to disappointing next time in the Prix d'Harcourt G2 at Longchamp. Feared. LION'S PRIDE (5) is two from four at the course. Gelded since last in action. Shortlist. BOTANICAL (1) arrives off the back of consecutive placed efforts in Listed races at Goodwood and Doncaster. Respect.
