Protocol, Quedex and Misbehaviour look the three to concentrate on in this seller and the vote goes to Protocol. The selection has won over the course and distance before and a reproduction of his latest third behind Nordic Prince would make him hard to beat. Quedex rates the main danger he was a fair sixth behind Diamond Orchid in a better race last time. Is one of the least exposed in the field and if he improves on his latest run he will not be far away. Misbehaviour is another that could go well. She was a fair fourth behind Shady Man last time but that form has since been let down and her best efforts have come with more cut in the ground so she is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Cosmic Ranger is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Protocol.
