Verdict
This looks wide open but the vote goes to Dan Skelton's returning LE MILOS, who is building up an impressive record in veterans' company and also has a good record when fresh. Torn And Frayed is weighted to go well and rates a big threat though, especially if he can keep jumping errors to a minimum. If Not For Dylan, Numitor and Straw Fan Jack also need factoring in.
