Verdict
Time Square had a run over hurdles last month and isn't badly treated on his form on Polytrack at the start of the year. Barachiel went close a couple of times in October but for sheer consistency, it's difficult to look beyond THE WONGA COUP. He's yet to win on an all-weather surface but this is arguably his best chance to date after a couple of recent near-misses and this is his trip. Beggers Belief needs a return to form but could figure if in the mood and both Edgware Road and Youm Jamil have place prospects.
