Captain Conby was beaten 12 lengths into second here last month but will have come on for the experience as will Eyewitness, who was only just behind having lost second place on the line. Denis Hogan has booked Patrick Mullins for WILD HUNT, a son of Dubawi and a full-brother to Group 1 winner and Oaks second Wild Illusion and half-brother to two other smart winners. He's handed the vote in an intriguing contest where Johnny Murtagh has a rare bumper runner in Back Yourself, a half-brother to six winners including two at Group 2 level. Hashtag Watt has a very stout pedigree and conditions will suit while Derek O'Connor's presence suggests the speedily-bred Maries Memories is one to note.
