The three with experience do not set any lofty targets to aim at, though Choice Encounter should be capable of building on his Nottingham debut. It may pay to side with a newcomer in the opener and the market will be an essential tool when doing so. TO WAFIJ has the credentials for a race like this on paper and, with his trainer in good form already, he gets the nod ahead of the filly Validator. Indian Warrior is another worth noting in the betting.
