Indian Hawk poses a big question in this as he represents a top stable that like to target this race and given the ability he showed between the flags and on his rules debut. On the latter occasion he also revealed an awkward head carriage which may have been the sign of greenness or a potential wayward streak. The way he downed tools next time may confirm the latter or that there was a physical problem. With those doubts persisting LISDOONVARNA LAD looks a safer option. Charlie Longsdon's charge has the best form on offer and the stable are in good shape at present. Lygon Rock represents another stable that are going well and one which took this in 2016.
