CABALLO DE MAR did admittedly enjoy the run of the race from the front when extending his winning sequence to 5 at Southwell recently but he scored with any amount in hand and looks well treated under a 3 lb penalty. East India Dock's hurdle exploits since joining James Owen suggest he could have more to come back on the Flat and he's feared most ahead of Hot Fuss and last year's winner Zoffee. The very much unexposed Leinster completes the shortlist.
