Given Bay Bridge won this four years ago, the temptation is to look for that potential future Group 1 horse in the field.
But it's not always like that and I quite like arguably the least "sexy" contender in the field on paper.
Circus Of Rome fetched only €15,000 as a yearling and is with Richard Hughes, who thus far hasn't set the world alight as a trainer the way he did as a jockey and who I last saw looking ravenous and making short work of a free meal in the O&T at Kempton Park one cold winter Wednesday evening.
But this son of Circus Maximus is out of a dam who won at 1m2f, two half brothers also scored at the trip, he's looked progressive on the AW, winning at Wolverhampton in March, and you can absolutely ignore his run in that race I like at Sandown Park, where everything that could go wrong duly did go wrong and he never got into the race.
He's a pound lower now, is out to 16/1 and may well go bigger still - I need to know it runs, though.
