A most competitive sprint, with the vote going to APACHE OUTLAW, whose latest efforts at 7f suggest he might prove very well suited by a big-field at this trip. Jon Riggens also arrives in good form and is also shortlisted, with I Bid You Ajou, Gerrit's Gem, Apothic Red and Irish Rumour others to merit serious consideration.
