Plenty in with a shout in this ultra-competitive handicap but Ed Walker's unexposed 3-y-o TERWADA arrives very much on the up so gets the vote under a 6 lb penalty for his convincing Newmarket success. Lots of these bring solid big-race handicap form to the table with Northern Express, The Gatekeeper and Sonny Liston all well in the mix. Last year's victor Blue For You completes the shortlist.
