Verdict

The pick of several viable candidates could prove to be LE KAP, who showed promise on debut during the summer and stepped up on that when third back from a break at Clonmel three weeks ago. Riskaway is just about second choice, with Zeus Power next on the list ahead of Arslan and Le Kap's stablemate Peaceinthevalley.
