Verdict

The form of COOL HOOF LUKE's 2024 Gimcrack win worked out notably well and, having shaped as if retaining all that ability on his only start since, he's worth siding with on this return to 7f. Prince of India progressed in leaps and bounds last season and is an obvious threat given his effectiveness when fresh, while Ferrous has an excellent all-weather record and must enter calculations, too.
