Lots of these arrive with question marks against them. BERLIET EXPRESS fared a lot better than his eleventh position suggests at Kilbeggan last time so gets the nod off a falling mark. Beat of The Sea is a long time without a win but is feared most on the back of her good C&D third, with Gondor weighted to have a say too if back on song after his long absence.
