2010 Royal Hunt Cup winner Invisible Man hasn't been sighted since signing off last year with a Group 2 second in Turkey but rates the one to beat if putting his best foot forward. With the benefit of a recent run to his name, however, RODRIGO DE TORRES shades the vote. Elaine Burke's charge failed to give his true running at Ascot latest but wouldn't be the first horse to flop at that venue and bounce back. His previous 7f form this season entitles him to respect and if the step up in trip can spark a return to form, he's expected to go close. St Moritz disappointed at Epsom last time but is another who could show improved form now back on a conventional track.
