JON RIGGENS again shaped well when third over this C&D last month, doing well to finish as close as he did all things considered, and he gets the nod. Shane Foley is a positive booking for Tuco Salamanca, who looks the pick of the British raiders and is feared most ahead of Gazelle d'Or and Kendall Roy. Lightly-raced 3-y-o Bounty has to be respected on her handicap debut, while the selection's stablemates Heavenly Power and Keke also have claims, along with Red Evolution.
