The unexposed HUBRISKO remains capable of better heading into handicaps so gets the vote. Vado Forte won this last year off 6 lb higher so must be respected for all he hasn't hit those heights for his current yard. Sole Pretender may have his quirks but he arrives on the back of a career-best win at Killarney under this rider.
