Cotswold Way is the one to beat on the figures but there's a slight question as to whether he's a bit flattered on his latest form line, and he'll also find the improving Dashel Drasher is likely to keep him company on the front end. The latter just keeps on surprising and he may not have finished improving yet. But whether the likely quicker ground will play to his strengths is a question, and one that tilts me towards DR SANDERSON today. He won't have any issue with the ground and can come with a winning run late in the day.
