HERCULEUS took his form to another level when scoring over C&D last month and the manner of that success makes him of strong interest again despite an 8 lb rise. Eternal Force's opening mark looks a fair one so is also high on the shortlist, while Kodi Fire had excuses at Wolverhampton last time and was thriving prior to that.

- ETERNAL FORCE
