Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for KNICKERBOCKERGLORY, who bolted up in this on return last year and Dan Skelton's charge can enhance an already superb record fresh. His main threat may emerge from Go Dante, who made it back-to-back Imperial Cups over C&D in the spring and should be spot on with his reappearance under his belt. Glynn Brae looks the pick of the rest.
