Being tucked away on the markers might not have been the best place for Muchacho (10) last week and things got a little tight around the bend and it was enough to throw him off stride.

Good enough to run fourth to Jumal in the Northern Derby at his last start, Sammy Lincoln (9) looks thrown in here. That said, has found himself in these kinds of races before and let the side down. Experience is building and if he can fend off his own worst enemy, himself,\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0win here.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
