Houston Dynimo went close in amateur company at Haydock last time and should be thereabouts again but THE OIL MAGNATE makes more appeal. He finished third over a longer trip at Doncaster three weeks ago but scored over C&D off today's mark last season. Law To Himself would prefer a faster surface while Pandorica's best form has been over shorter trips so far. Bavarian Nordic went close last time but hasn't won since 2008 and both of Mark Johnston's runners are hard to predict.
