Nonrunner
Wulimaster, Hugs Destiny and Barbirolli can all go well here but we will nominate WULIMASTER as the pick. The selection did not see out the trip last time out so the drop down in distance is a big plus for him. His form when he beat Red Fama at Beverley stands out in the context of this race and he should take all the beating. Hugs Destiny is another that is dropped in trip but he is thoroughly exposed and he has yet to get his head in front this year. Barbirolli disappointed last time and he has yet to show his best form on the all-weather and that is a slight cause for concern. Zalkani has got course and distance winning form and he is well-drawn so he is another with claims. Wulimaster does have plenty to recommend him here though and he gets our vote.
