Race preview

A MOMENTOFMADNESS arrives 4lb lower in the ratings than when winning this contest 12 months ago and he is fancied to repeat the feat. The six-year-old was disappointing earlier in the season but he appeared to be coming back to form when a close sixth in a valuable race at York's Ebor meeting. Muthmir, who plundered this prize way back in 2014, is on an eyecatching mark and he did run very well in the Dash at Epsom on Derby Day. The unbeaten Bielsa is an exciting prospect but could be vulnerable in a race of this nature. Others to consider are Copper Knight, Dazzling Dan, Gunmetal and Arecibo.
