Verdict

Quantity rather than quality here, but a winner is a winner. Last year's winner REDCLUE gets the vote as he's on a winning mark, has ideal conditions again and should be fitter for a recent spin over hurdles. Mollies Gent holds solid claims on the best of his form and may well bounce back. Theatre One is one of a few to consider for the places.
