Verdict
The top two dominate from a form perspective and ORPENINDEED is narrowly preferred. Frank Sheridan is a shrewd placer of his charges and his consistent operator seems sure to give another sound account adopting customary front-running tactics. Trip and ground are fine. Abriachan is useful in low-grade handicap company and his Kempton success during the winter makes him a leading contender here. Market support would increase confidence. Rub Of The Relic has claims if delivering his best but ended last season in modest form and returns from a lengthy break.
