Manighar, who was seventh in the race last year, Bauer and four-year-old Sahara Sun may also fly the Cumani flag. Three-time runner-up Saeed Bin Suroor from the Godolphin yard may be represented by Lost In The Moment and Group 1 winner Cavalryman. Moyenne Corniche, winner of the Betfred Ebor at York last month, could again lock horns with stablemate and Ebor fifth Saptapadi as trainer Brian Ellison plans a joint raid down under. Other notable entries from Britain are Modun, trained by Sir Michael Stoute and a gallant fourth in the Ebor, and Grp 3 winner Meeznah, who could be trainer David Lanigan's first runner in the race. The Mark Johnston-trained pair Jukebox Jury and Fox Hunt have also been given entries, as have Breeders' Cup Turf winner Dangerous Midge and the Ed Dunlop-trained Red Cadeaux. (www.racingpost.co.uk).
