A proven front runner, TIMI ROLL looks capable of making this a very good test and just edges the nomination ahead of the progressive Andratx, who has obvious claims having won his last four starts under both codes. His burned at the weights makes this a lot tougher though. Petuna is another that needs to defy the handicapper but has a feasible chance of at least making the frame here.
