It's difficult to have much faith in any of these. Bubbly Braveheart and Moscow Oznick have the past form to figure if returning to their best, while Colinca's Lad has the more recent form with a couple of seconds at this track to his name. He never looked like winning on either occasion, however, and WHODUNIT is preferred. He showed signs of a return to form when third here last time and gets the vote back on a winning mark. Aine's Delight could prove best of the rest.
