This is anybody's race. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER gets a token vote as he went very close on a couple of occasions in plating company back in October and has the beating of Aciano on that form. Conducting has every chance at this level as does Faithful Ruler though the latter is returning from a layoff and Brighton winner Hierarch is having his first start since August. Hurricane Spirit could figure if in the mood but Gunner Will looks more likely to run his race and makes more appeal.
