Plenty are in with a shout but KRUGER PARK rates the pick of the weights with the form of his latest Uttoxeter third working out well so this course winner gets the nod. Recent Ffos Las scorer Up For Parol heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Magical King, The Four Sixes, Santos Blue and Haiti Couleurs in a competitive handicap.
