Verdict

Cases can be made for several, but preference is for CELEBORN, who only made the track once last season but looked a natural on the track when bolting up at Epsom 12 months ago. With further progress on the cards, he can defy the absence at the expense of Jupiter Ammon, who continues to run well in defeat and has first-time headgear applied today. Organ and Harvey are another couple to consider, too.

  1. CELEBORN
  2. JUPITER AMMON (IRE)
  3. ORGAN
