Verdict
MAVEN is 5lb lower than December's win at Wolverhampton with his amateur's claim taken into consideration and gets the token vote. Resplendent Light arrives on the back of a C&D win and should go well but Aviso's recent victory came in Guernsey and he'll find this tougher. Royal Etiquette has been running well without winning and Penbryn could figure with Serena Brotherton on board while Edgeworth, Moody Tunes and Sail Home are others to consider.
