A fair few of these return from chasing campaigns so it's difficult to gauge the form exactly, but EIGHT TILL LATE is the one who appeals most. He has been in the form of his life recently with some fine performances over the larger obstacles, and though he wasn't at his best over hurdles prior to that it may be worth chancing that with his confidence restored now he has returned to winning ways, we may see something like his best once again. Jefferson Davis needs to defy a recent rise in the weights but seems to be going the right way to do so, while Bendanella won at this course over shorter last summer.
