Our view

Best selection: Way Horn. Unraced, so this is about potential rather than proof; trainer Sean O O'Brien has had 2 winners from 9 runners in our recent records.

The case against: no form to go on; Green Heritage is close on the numbers; we can't yet confirm how it handles good ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Green Heritage and Hansel The Purse.
