The three last-time winners, all of whom prevailed in photo-finishes, naturally take the eye with Inchturk suggested as best of the trio as the Halford gelding looks open to the greater improvement after just four career starts. He showed a good attitude at Gowran last time and this additional furlong should suit. Mister Wilson and Dare To Flare are obvious threats on the back of recent wins but ONLYHUMAN is taken to trump all three of them. He's gone really well on all three runs for his new yard, enjoys large-field contests and has been left on an unchanged mark after a strong effort last time.
