Race context
Race preview
IRON SWORD (1) brings a fair pedigree and looks to be getting the hang of things with the more experience he has under his belt. Now sets the standard and should prove hard to beat. LE GRAND RETOUR (2) was a cheap purchase as a youngster. There are winners in the family and sire is going well at the moment. This isn't the deepest contest so deserves a market check. GAELIC SEER (5) is bred by Godolphin and there are many flat winners in her pedigree. Should have a future. Interesting on debut. WALKINEEZY (4) looked limited to date. Finds a more realistic assignment and is one for the future though could easily play a role here.
