The Jim Boyle-trained pair DOLPHIN VISTA and Angels Roc make most appeal. The former is tumbling in the weights and signalled he's ready to strike again when a fast-finishing third over C&D 2 weeks ago, so edges the vote. Cafe Sydney shaped encouragingly back under less testing conditions at Chepstow recently and completes the shortlist.
