It's unlikely that a 7 lb rise will be enough to stop BARATABLET in his tracks, given the manner of his recent reappearance display at Newcastle. He gets the nod ahead of Magic Wave, who lacks a recent run but he has won twice before on the back of absences of six months or more and will be a threat if again ready to roll following a break. Esprit du Potier and Parisian Fashion are others to consider.
