The one with the most compelling credentials is FLANN, who appears to be on a good mark having been raised just 5 lb for this clear-cut success here in November. While that was just a 4-runner affair, the second has won both starts since and the third also scored next time out, so the form is solid and his subsequent departure at Ludlow was no fault of his own. El Diablo is a tentative selection for forecast purposes ahead of On The Bandwagon.
