The vote goes to EMPEROR CARADOC, who isn't long with his current yard and looks ready to strike again having returned to his best back at this trip at Newcastle last week. Evocative Spark wasn't able to open up fully at this venue on his most recent outing but still passed most of the field, while Beauty Choice is another to consider for all that this represents a step back up in grade.
