BIG BABY BULL and Roderick are 2 classy sorts for this grade and could be the pair to focus on. The latter did shape as if retaining ability on his recent return from an absence but preference is for the former who posted several solid efforts in handicap company last season. Jaafel may prove best of the rest.
