Doubts about all of these in one way or another, but the suggestion is WEAPON OF CHOICE now that he drops back to this class and to the sort of mark that we know he can handle. Sudski Star won well here last time, but a 7lb rise will make this tough enough over a trip that may just be on the short side, while Final Countdown may prove best of the rest.
