A host of promising 3-y-os on show with preference for KALEIDO, who shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in a deep back-end Doncaster maiden last year and he can go one better with improvement on the cards. Indian Springs found the penny dropping late on when third at Kempton in December, so he's put forward as the main threat, with Raafedd, Great and Nakeeb a trio of others worth considering, too.
