What they say

Marcus Tregoning, trainer of Perotto
He's been running well without winning so far this season but likes quick ground so goes there with an each-way chance in a competitive race.

Richard Hannon, trainer of Tacarib Bay
We know he handles the track having won there this season and he should enjoy the trip in a competitive affair.

Andrea Atzeni, rider of Triple Time
We thought very highly of him last year when he won on this card and then was put away for a crack at the 2,000 Guineas. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury ten days before the race which meant he's missed half of the season. I haven't sat on him this year but Kevin [Ryan] says he's very happy with him and it looks a nice starting point back. Obviously he's taking on race-fit rivals but we know he likes the track.
