What they say

Jim Goldie, trainer of Euchen Glen
The rain would suit us more than Real World I'd think so he'd be thereabouts if he can run to his best. It's hard to say he's not better than ever, he's consistently running to 116 to 117 and you never know, he might stretch to a Group 1.

Ed Walker, trainer of Stormy Antarctic
I can't wait to see him run again and I'm hoping the forecast rain materialises. If it does I think he'll have a cracking chance.

Richard Hannon, trainer of Fancy Man
He should get his ground with all the rain that is coming. He has been a bit disappointing this season. Things have not gone his way, but he seems more relaxed in his work at home.

Andrew Balding, trainer of Foxes Tales
This is a step up in class but that was a good effort last time considering the weight he was carrying and I'd hope he'd be competitive here. I think the track should suit him.
