Preference is for MISTYMAL, who made a winning debut in this sphere on return at Hereford in October and went like the best horse at the weights when narrowly denied back there just under 5 weeks ago. First-time cheekpieces go on, and he can get the better of Safe Destination, who isn't the most reliable but looks better than ever this season. Jessmae showed more than previously on his recent chase debut, so he rounds off the shortlist.
