Despite failing on his handicap debut, AFTER JOHN is the preference to get back to winning ways in this contest. The form line of his Pontefract victory are strong (runner-up Qutob has won two starts since) and is in much calmer waters than he contested last time. Chatham House has done very little wrong apart from win during his career to date and has a victory in him in time, but may find one to good once again, while Nefarious is dangerous to ignore especially with the handicapper gifting him a chance to get back to winning ways.
