It's hard to make a strong case for any of this bunch. Like most of these, CHEERS FOR THEA is less than reliable, but won at Wolverhampton in December and a repeat would be good enough to come out best. Jordaura is another capable of going close on his day but it's anybody's guess when that will be while Sartingo has bits of form that could see him figure. Cosmic Moon and Flipping can race off decent marks if at their best but El Bravo is better suited to longer distances.
