The vote goes to MORDOR, who is unexposed in this sphere and won't be found wanting fitness-wise after finishing mid-field in a big-field handicap hurdle at last month's Cheltenham Festival. The best is surely yet to come from the lightly-raced Poetic Sound, a late-maturing type who won two of his three starts last season and his mark for this handicap debut does not look prohibitive. Saturn is also shortlisted.
