Ruling Favourite for the Sun Met, Hawwaam, got a wide draw when the event at Grand west Casino got under way. He drew 12 in the end which will give Jockey Anton Marcus some headaches as to what to do with that draw.

Ryan Moore will have no such headaches as he drew the plum 5 draw and can choose his path accordingly. His mount on defending champion Rainbow Bridge will be no doubt given the best chance of success from that position.

Do It Again, the runner up pulled the wide 11 draw, his trainers concerns would be more about the horses form than the draw at this stage.

Vardy, the form horse in the contest and having the beating of most of this field on form, drew fair at 9. That draw should affect him as he is finishes his races well and will be settled in.
