This looks wide-open but TEMPLATE finished behind a subsequent winner when third here last time and gets the nod on that basis. Crystal Lake steps up a furlong after a decent effort at this track and Ninety Minutes wasn't beaten far at Salisbury on his latest start. Both have claims on that evidence while Nirva is related to three winners and is worth noting along with fellow newcomers Synonym and Desert Society.
