Formscan  - Houquetot is a fascinating contender on his first start for David O'Meara, having won a Group 3 as a juvenile in France, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the run was needed after a gelding operation. Storm Star completed a hat-trick on All-Weather Finals day here and has to be respected, despite a career-high mark, but POCKLINGTON gets the vote. He has been knocking on the door in ultra-competitive sprint handicaps and has shaped as though 7f might bring about further progression.
