The suggestion is COLD STARE, who is not the easiest to catch right but he'll relish the prevailing conditions and a reproduction of his effort at Thirsk in May would give him every chance in a wide-open race. Spanish Star has been knocking on the door this season and should be on the premises once more, while last-time-out winners Mabre and Little Boy Blue also enter calculations.
