Echo of Light gets the confident vote here with Halliard and Conscript rating the main dangers. The selection would have won easily last time out but for running out when well clear. If he stays on course here he is impossible to oppose and will not be beaten. Halliard rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Shared Dreams but that form has since been let down and she has plenty to find with the selection on official bhb figures. Conscript was well behind Group Captain last time and this looks tougher so he needs to improve while Vettorious looks outclassed.
