Try Again is much-respected on this hat-trick bid but another 5lb might just be enough to see the assessor wresting back control of the argument. Purple Party wasn't far off behind him last time and having run well again over C&D since, she is worth considering. Black Agnes would have a chance if being in the mood, while Shukhov is a fair yardstick at this venue. Roter Baron was noted finishing third recently when not having much luck but this can go the way of previous C&D winner THREE MAJORS. He's having his first outing for this trainer off a workable mark in what looks an open contest and has run well on his two most recent course visits.
