A competitive heat in which the vote goes to BOYFRIEND, who has held his form well since scoring at Sandown and probably would've resumed winning ways granted more luck at Salisbury earlier in the month. Last weekend's Doncaster winner Almekarem is highly respected from a light weight, with Capall Rasa and Stem also shortlisted.
