Victory Bond looks a good starting place given that his trainer is in breathtaking form right now and has won this prize twice since 2011. This has probably been a target for some time and he has to go on any shortlist. Scarlet Dragon made up good late ground at Ascot in the Wolferton (a race where many of these ran) and must be considered as a previous C&D winner. That Ascot race was won by Snoano but a 5lb penalty makes things devilishly tough and the runner-up Majeed makes more appeal now on the revised terms. Sixties Groove could have a race like this in his compass but a chance is taken on DRAGON MALL. He forfeited a lot of ground at the start of the Wolferton before running on strongly and with new headgear in play today, might make a decent fist of things if getting away on an even keel from what is not an ideal draw.
