A highly competitive big-field handicap with the tentative vote going to RETRACEMENT, who is well worth another chance to build on a promising reappearance/stable debut given his low-mileage profile. Hat-trick seeker Bravo Zulu remains well treated on his all-weather form, while Imposing Supreme and Earls complete the shortlist.
