Verdict

WILFUL completed a simple task with ease at Fonwell last time and this looks a good opportunity for him to follow up under a penalty. Le Jeune Bresil has shaped as if amiss the last twice but can pose the main threat if returning to his Wetherby form after a break. Walk On Quest is another with a bit to prove but can't be written off just yet.
