HIGHLAND COLORI (NAP) is the obvious choice in this as he produced a much better effort last time when fourth at Newmarket having contested the Lincoln on his reappearance. Andrew Balding’s seven-year-old won a better race that this at York in October and is only 2lb higher. Pactolus is better on the all-weather and has never on Turf but it would be no surprise if Wind In My Sails, successful here in August, picked up another race or two when the handicapper relents. Palawan is better treated and not out of this while Archie would also have a chance if fully wound-up.
