VALIANCY is difficult to get away from and can send his supporters home smiling. He is the clear pick of the Wathnan trio in the finale and an 8lb rise for his comeback success at Hamilton is probably fair given he confirmed Haydock form with Ride The Thunder in no uncertain terms. The Cracksman gelding is really progressive and it's going to take a big performance to deny William Haggas' inmate another victory. Aeronautic drops down from Group 3 company and boasts every chance, while Daiquiri Bay and Gamrai are closely matched on Newmarket form and it wouldn't be a surprise if they were heavily involved.
