ALKOPOP arrives on a hat-trick and, having shown loads of stamina at Fontwell last time, he could pull out more now returned to this sort of trip. He's an obvious choice to come out on top, although Santara was only just denied over C&D last time and Lugg River is still relatively unexposed, so they're both feasible dangers.
