This looks wide open and with that in mind the vote goes to ORCHESTRA. An improved model this term (successful at Beverley in May), he's been far from disgraced both starts in handicaps since and the application of a visor could just eke out a little more. Ramensky and Entrancement are others to consider, with Ribal also interesting having been gelded.
