Question marks against all of these. The jury is out with Goodtoknow after he was beaten just under 60 lengths on first start after a 529-day absence, while Ceann Sibheal was pulled up on a first start for a new yard after a 588-day absence.Oneida Tribe certainly has a claim on the best of his form but appears to have lost his way since running a solid second at Haydock in January while Bob Ford was pulled up on his last two starts but would also have every chance if returning to form. That leaves LAC SACRE, who is enigmatic and impossible to predict but is given a very tentative nod in the hope he'll reproduce the level of his Ffos Las win in the spring.
