Devilfishpoker Com has the highest rating of these to have earned one but Richard Guest's gelding is pretty exposed and this is likely to go to one of the lightly raced runners with the vote going to Market Forces, who gets the verdict over Muhannak. The selection was doing her best work at the end of the mile when making her debut at Lingfield in November, is bred to appreciate the step up in trip and hails from the yard of Henry Cecil that has been in good form. Lucky Find ran promisingly when third in a Catterick seller on her debut last term but this is tougher, while Lisselan Dancer gave little real sign of encouragement first time out. Gerard Butler has started the season in good form so Muhannak, who made an encouraging return, has to be respected but it is hard to get away from Market Forces who gets the vote.
