Verdict
It is hard to see past the claims of Delaware, despite the size of the field. He did little wrong over course and distance last time and it can confidently be expected that McCoy will make every attempt to make sure his mount is not caught out by a strong finisher this time around. Gemi Bed is another to consider after an eye-catching second to Indium last time out. Golden has also shown signs of ability and could represent good each way value.
