EMANCIPATOR capitalised on a lower hurdles mark with the minimum of fuss at Gowran last time and appeals as the one to beat if still in the same form back over the larger obstacles. Brampton Belle would rate as another leading player if brushing up her jumping, with handicap-newcomer Natural Look also considered.
