Beaten double-figure margins on all 6 starts for this yard so a first-time tongue strap needs to make a big difference.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Selma Grage⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 45

Under Curfew (9/2), Alba Del Sole (9/2), Holdenhurst (9/2), Our Man In Havana (11/2), Cappananty Con (6/1), David's Beauty (7/1), Bartat (8/1), Who Told Jo Jo (10/1), Bezzas Lad (16/1), Swanton Blue (16/1), Port Noir (25/1), King Crimson (25/1), Imhotep (40/1), Hellofagame (50/1), Amber Lily (66/1)

Lots with chances in this big-field opener. HOLDENHURST was back on song in cheekpieces last time and gets the nod to add to last summer's C&D win. Alba del Sole is in better form than last week's efforts suggest and is a possible big threat if things fall right for her. Cappananty Con and David's Beauty are also on the shortlist.
