The vote here goes to Orpen Wide with Saucepot, Heartsonfire and El Potro possibly proving to be his biggest dangers. Orpen Wide has been upped seven pounds for his debut all-weather win last time, but did it well and looks the type to have further improvement in him, including at today's longer trip. Saucepot is only a pound better off for the three-and-three-quarter lengths she finished behind the selection last time, and is two pounds better off for the three-quarters-of-a-length that she finished behind Blades Boy here over five furlongs the time before. Hearstonfire would have chances on her Wolverhampton form but has yet to race here, while Pauline's Prince showed better form last time in first-time cheekpieces behind a very progressive type in Kingsgate Bay, but the question remains whether a drop back in trip is actually going to suit. Gypsy Fair and El Potro are closely weighted on December Wolverhampton runs, with Brut and Haenertsburg looking held on that form and with El Potro certainly looking ready for today's trip now. Cloann might improve in a visor, but needs to, while Azuree's best efforts have come in seller. This spins us back to the selection which, once again, is Orpen Wide
