WHAT THEY SAY

'He moved well and felt good in his final workout, and he's every bit as good as last year (when third to Vengeance Of Rain in the HK Cup).'

RICHARD HILLS, jockey of Maraahel.

'My horse becomes a champion when he travels abroad - he even changes colour into a deep chestnut. I knew we would win the Canadian International last time and I think we are the horse to beat.'

DEAN MCKEOWN, jockey of Collier Hill.

'If he can finish in the first five it will be a good run.'

TORSTEN MUNDRY, jockey of Egerton.
