BROKEN HALO hinted at a revival when eighth over C&D last time and is favoured by these weights so gets the vote. Last year's victor Rolling Dylan could emerge as the biggest threat if the fitting of blinkers has the desired effect while Texard appeals as the pick of the David Pipe-trained trio and can claim minor honours.
