APHELIOS (2) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at Jagersro two starts back then landed the prize by 1.2 lengths last time out over 1730m at Jagersro. Finds a suitable assignment and can go back-to-back. EL GUANCHE (1) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1200m at Jagersro. Nicely placed and expected to go well. AURINKO (7) finished third last start over 1200m at Jagersro, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SOULOFCHESS (4) has not appeared since he finished 13th over 1000m at Meydan on March 14. Boasts a fine first-up record of three wins from four starts. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
