This looks wide open even though a few of these have proved frustrating to follow. On Call won twice over course and distance in the autumn, beating Huntsmans Jog on the first occasion. Cobra De Mai hasn’t run off a mark this low since his novice days and he’ll probably pop up somewhere when least expected. Wayfinder, Premiumaccess and Clemencia are all respected but WILDFIRE WARRIOR (NAP) is having only a third run over fences and he looked ready for a step up in trip when a staying-on fourth last time at Doncaster.
