Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but James Horton's GRANDLAD holds the edge on the form of his promising debut second at Newcastle so looks the way to go. Hugo Palmer's once-raced Auric also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list, with Harry Did and Sky Warrior both in the picture too in an intriguing novice.
