This is wide open with a host of unexposed three-year-olds on view. Richard Hannon runs three with Ryan Moore partnering the returning Contrast, who is preferred to The Grape Escape and Medahim. Atty Persse won on his racecourse debut over track and trip in September while Colibri, Mucho Applause and First Up opened their accounts in the same month. JUPITER LIGHT is a more recent winner having beaten a subsequent scorer at Wolverhampton last month so he gets a specualtive vote with his yard in flying form. Cullingworth beat Dr Julius No to land a handicap at Musselburgh last time but is more exposed than most.
