The stiff finish at Sandown just seemed to find out AFADIL in the Imperial Cup and he can gain compensation for that near miss. Alnilam shaped very well in the Morebattle and ought to find 2m around here playing to his strengths so he's second choice. Slugger, who was a couple of places behind Alnilam at Kelso, Moon Chime and Gordon Elliott handicap newcomer Grimaud also make the shortlist.
