Verdict

This looks wide open so at the likely odds it could be worth siding with last year's victor BOLD LIGHT to bounce back in style after an unproductive spell chasing with his yard also right back on the up of late. Smart Decision seems sure to be on the premises off a still handy-looking mark, while in-form duo Good To Be Alive and Fingal's Hill are firmly in the picture too.
