Prime Number's taken to land this, but Show Winner and Uig are also worthy of consideration. The selection has some form in the book; a course and distance winner here in February, he has the highly promising Jack Mitchell on board. Show Winner's being dropped back a couple of furlongs after fading late on in his last outing over a mile and a half, and is expected to be in contention, while Uig is consistent at this level, making the frame in her last 3 outings. But the tentative pick is Prime Number.
