Wait For The Will has been admirably consistent this season and gets the TEAMtalk vote in a competitive opener. Gary Moore's charge has yet to finish out of the money from nine starts during the current campaign yet remains fairly treated. The six-year-old was given too much to do in an amateurs event last time but had previously scored in comfortable fashion at Ascot under today's rider and can offset a subsequent 5lb rise. Hambleden had Zibeline behind when the pair clashed at York earlier in the month but both looked weighted up to their best. Hirapour has had his problems but was not disgraced behind a smart rival on his recent comeback and is entitled to be sharper but front running Windermere may struggle to dominate here and is now 7lb higher compared to his course and distance success last month.
