Winning form here is scarce so ATOMIC RUMBLE somewhat stands out as he seeks a hat-trick and he certainly has the best handicap form on offer. In may ways Darling Maltaix and New Quay bring similar claims to the table with both ending last term in third and each having summer wind-ops for top yards. They are both possible improvers now and represent the two biggest dangers.
