Oh My Lord looks the one to beat. Good Man Again rates the main danger. The Tony Martin-trained Irish raider holds solid claims based on his second at Perth two runs ago and should go close here. Good Man Again rates a danger based on his Uttoxeter second two runs ago, while Pangeran and Regal Vision have run well enough from their current ratings to be afforded chances. With the other three out of the weights, we return to the selection, which is Oh My Lord.
