In depth
Verdict
Square Viviani won twice last season but generally needs a run. Paddys Runner is inconsistent and still a maiden over fences but Misty Mai has won three times, most recently at Ffos Las in November. Light Flicker, a winner at Wetherby in December, stayed 3m between the flags but TIPPINGITUPTONANCY is improving with experience and, after just six career starts, has more scope so gets the vote.
