The only question I see for RHT is whether he he can save some ground on the first turn. If Lion Heart goes into the turn a little wide, as is his usual custom, and Sir Shackleton lapped on his outside, Stevens with RHT will have a tough call coming from the 10 hole. Whether to take the 4 path on the turn or try to find a spot behind in order to save a little ground. Unless an alternative scenario sets up in which RHT challenges early in order to get no worse than 3w into the turn. This will be a great strategic race. Another problem for RHT is that Eddington will be to his inside and may have a say as to which path RHT will have to take into the first turn.
