Vodka Time finished second in the Brocklesby on debut but was then only fourth at Kempton. Bahamian Heights is a half-brother to two winners but may not come into his own until tackling further later in the season while the three previous winners are all racing on Turf for the first time. Mark Johnston won this last year so we'll go with his SPLIT ROCK, who showed plenty of speed when making all at Southwell and looks an early type. Both M'selle and Orton Park were slowly away when winning on the Polytrack and may not be able to give ground away here at the start.
