While this might seem like an obvious target for Europe’s best sprinters, though, it is worth recalling that last year’s renewal was the 13th since the race was added to the schedule and Glass Slippers was the first European-trained runner to win.
Golden Pal, who won the Juvenile Turf Sprint at Keeneland last year, is the big hope for the homes team. European backers may recall that Wesley Ward’s sprinter was a distinct flop when he was sent to York for the Nunthorpe Stakes in August, but he bounced back to form in his next race and is likely to take all the beating if he can get on the pace.
