Great Fun is the unknown quantity in this having made a winning start when beating younger horses at Wetherby. The second was only beaten a head next time so the form is holding up. Dominate could land this if reproducing the form of his latest third at Ascot over the extra furlong as Tom Marquand's claim is a plus but Freddy With A Y needs to step up again if he's to complete the hat-trick. Muir Lodge's fourth at Doncaster is decent form and he was third over this trip at Ascot in the autumn while Bravo Echo and Scottish Glen are course and distance winners, though ZESHOV is more interesting. He's been difficult to train but the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye and there's a chance that he's a lot better than he's shown so far.
