Verdict
DRAWNFROMTHEPAST makes plenty of appeal. In fine form on the Polytrack, he scored at Wolverhampton last month and remains on a winning mark compared to his best form. Where's Reiley is a multiple C&D winner but his last three victories have been in plating company while all four of Monsieur Jamie's wins so far have been over track and trip. However, the last one was back in 2011 and Haajes finished ahead of him at Nottingham last time. Six Wives looks high enough in the weights but Foxy Music has dropped a further 4lb and could go well.
