Definitely Red won this race well last year but he has a bit to prove on his return having struggled at the back end of the season. ASO took his form to a new level when a game runner-up at the Chelteham Festival when last seen and he gets the tentative vote here in the hope that he's fully fit first time out. Ballyoptic has the benefit of a prep run and isn't dismissed lightly while Top Ville Ben could make his presence felt at this level with course and distance form in the book. La Bague Au Roi's record fresh is impressive and she has to be considered the main danger.
