A few interesting newcomers here including Winds Of Fire, who has to be respected as a Charlie Appleby juvenile, and John Gosden's Holy Heart, but preference is for MR RECKLESS. He could have finished a lot closer than fourth over C&D last time if enjoying a clear run (he was later disqualified but this was due to the rider not weighing in), and may only need to find a small bit of improvement to get off the mark at the third time of asking, provided he enjoys a trouble-free passage this time.
