We have some in form contestants lining up for this and the handicapper has had his say in most cases. Ashoka and Cillian's Well will be popular choices but UTILITY appeared to win with enough in hand last week to suggest that a 7lb penalty still leaves him with a bit in hand at the weights. Courtlands Prince may have more to offer and returns after a spell on the sidelines. He would be worth checking in the market along with King Alfonso.
