DRAKES WELL was consistent under Rules last season and, fit from a run in points, he gets the tentative vote in this tricky hunter. Back Bar has been running well between the flags and is partnered by one of the more experienced riders, so he's respected, while Hotel du Nord also has the ability to make his presence felt.
