The one who appeals most is QUEST FOR FUN, who travelled well for a long way before tiring late on when fourth on his seasonal reappearance at Musselburgh. He was broadly progressive in 2023 and may well have more to offer this year. Last year's winner Northern Express also shaped well on his return at Newmarket and he is feared most. That said, Hiromichi did the job well at Ripon last weekend and he is also high on the shortlist, while Pisanello is worth a second look, too.
