Verdict

GOODWIN charged home from an unpromising position when third at Chepstow in December and with that initial experience sure to stand him in good stead, he's fancied to get off the mark for the in-form Chris Gordon yard. Spitalfield improved further when runner-up on yard debut over C&D 4 weeks ago and he looks the one to give the selection most to think about, with Seaside Legend rounding off the shortlist.

  1. GOODWIN (IRE)
