Jokers Legacy, Nulato and The Architect look the three to concentrate on in this bumper with the vote going to Jokers Legacy. The selection won well last time out when beating Gabreselassie and although having a penalty for that win he looks sure to improve again and will be hard to beat. Nulato rates the main danger as he is unbeaten to date and defeated The Hollinwell last time out be he looks vulnerable under his double penalty. The Architect is another that could go well on his sixth behind Cockney Trucker he looks sure to improve and should be watched in the market but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Dont Tell Baby is another that has shaped with promise in the past but he is another that looks more of a stayer and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Jokers Legacy.
