17/2
14/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy). Off 6 months ahead of this tapeta/yard debut and likely to find one or two too good.

12/1
Ninth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/1) 32 days ago, left poorly placed. Tongue strap back on and this 6-y-o could have a part to play if able to bounce back.

3/1
Seven-time C&D winner, including a 9-runner handicap (6/1) on his latest start 22 days ago, driven out. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's a key player.

Forecasts

Makeen (5/2), Cuban Fiesta (3/1), Pop Favorite (3/1), Madame Plaintiff (17/2), Harry Magnus (17/2), Meng Tian (12/1), Damisa (22/1), Desert Raider (40/1)

Verdict

POP FAVORITE had Cuban Fiesta 1¾ lengths adrift in fourth when scoring here last time and, raised just 2 lb for that, the 7-y-o is taken to uphold that form and notch an eighth C&D success in the process. Cuban Fiesta is taken to follow the selection home, with Meng Tian best of the rest.
