Silver Soldier has turned in a couple of shockers since finishing second over C&D in March last year, but Kirsty's Boy followed up a C&D victory with a decent fourth over a mile in December and should figure on his return. Tax Dodger has finished second on his last two starts on Polytrack but never looked like winning on either occasion, and ATLAS PEAK makes more appeal. He wasn't beaten that far over a longer distance on his reappearance and had won with a bit in hand over track and trip in December so gets the vote. Dunne Grand could prove best of the rest having slipped another 3lb down the weights.
