Verdict
MAC CENNETIG looks the safest option, not just as the only recent winner in the field but because his overall profile reveals a level of consistency the majority of his rivals lack. He's up 6lb though which may be an issue as he now meets Oksana on slightly worse terms than when the pair clashed at Market Rasen. The latter fell at the last that day when the race was in the balance and is an obvious danger on that evidence. Wisecracker, third in that contest, also reopposes but does have plenty to find. Sleep In First could be one to note now 3lb lower than when last getting his head in front and houses sound each-way claims.
