In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims it might be worth chancing the classy ANNUAL INVICTUS, who shaped as if retaining a good chunk of his ability after an absence when mid-field in the Coral Gold Cup over C&D and this is less competitive. Rivers Corner is next on the list, ahead of Only The Bold.
