It is hard to get away from the hugely progressive GAS MONKEY who is four from four on turf this season with only an AW blip on the recent copybook. Hydroplane has himself been profitable to follow and after not lasting 2m latest he should again be a player over this trip. Also shortlisted is Ocala who handles soft ground well; she will go close if appreciating her first try over 1m4f at this non stamina sapping track.
