Verdict

ESPINOZA, RAFA BAY and GIMMETHEGOODLIFE are closely matched on recent form and there shouldn't be much between the trio on the revised terms. Returning BLACK EGRET and versatile PLUS FOUR have the means to play a leading role too but may be found out in the latter stages.

Top Tip: Gimmethegoodlife (1)
Watch out for: Espinoza (2)
