There's very little between most of these on form and on that score, WHIP NAE NAE is given the vote as he may be able to dominate here. Back to form on his latest start and if holding his form, can go in again. Breden would have been a stronger fancy with more of a pace up front but he's worth keeping an eye on with a view to the near future. Rigoletto too will be held up for a late run and can prove the main danger. Ehtiraas should improve again and is another worthy of consideration in a tricky event.
