Paul Nicholls' NARDARAN fluffed his lines when sixth at Musselburgh last time but is worth another chance to confirm his Kempton debut promise so gets the vote. Rascallion rates the biggest threat on the back of his breakthrough Wincanton victory, while Vaguely Royal can also have a say back in this sphere.
