There are a few unknown quantities in this field, including River Wylde and Elgin, both of whom it's difficult to assess in terms of quality, but who are both undoubtedly progressive types. They should be competitive here, especially the former, who is undefeated over hurdles. The same can't be said for CAPITAINE, but there was no shame is losing to Finian's Oscar, the favourite for the Neptune, last time on ground that would have been softer than ideal, and he can return to winning ways now he should be back on his preferred sounder surface. 1. Capitaine 2. River Wylde 3. Elgin
