This looks a bit of a match and preference is for the less exposed REDICEAN who was well fancied for the Triumph after winning the Adonis impressively. He didn't run his race that day but can show his class here despite carrying a penalty. Gumball usually sets a fearsome pace and will likely do the same so there will be no hiding place and the 8lb he gets from Redicean gives him a real chance. The others have it all to do but Padleyourowncanoe makes the most appeal.
