Cases can be made for most but the vote goes to RATTLE OWL. Jedd O'Keeffe's charge was well supported and shaped well before his race came to an unfortunate end on handicap debut at Wetherby 4 weeks ago. Provided he's none the worse, he can make amends. Hydroplane made plenty of progress in this sphere last season so he's feared most on reappearance, ahead of Dan Skelton's Sofia's Rock.
