Fergal O'Brien's SHELIKESTHELIGHTS rates just the pick of the weights and is likely to strip fully fit after his Worcester second following an absence so gets the vote. Alan King's Zodiac Star arrives at the top of his game and seems sure to be on the premises, while in-form duo Quaresome and Global Esteem also need factoring into this open handicap.
