This seems quite a tight-knit contest, but TOTAL COMMITMENT is only 2lb higher than when winning cosily on his handicap bow at Newmarket, and that form has been boosted since. He is totally unexposed, and the booking of Ryan Moore is always significant for this yard. Whelans Way is another who has more to offer, and is respected for an underrated yard, with consistent pair Equiano Springs and Iconic Knight completing the shortlist.
