There's no shortage of recent C&D form to dissect in what is essentially a very difficult affair.
Colonel Whitehead sprung a 22-1 surprise when tackling this trip for the first time ten days ago, but should once more have the measure of the difficult to win with

BLESSED could feasibly have a slight edge from the very foot of the weights.
- Blessed
- Claudius Secundus
