Plenty with form to make them worthy contenders in this line-up, Lord Murphy has twice scored over C&D already this year and should do better than his most recent attempt when he was perhaps given too much to do. Hernando Torres is now on a very workable mark while Rattle On and Grey Destiny are likely to be on the premises again. A 3lb hike is not certain to halt recent C&D winner Makhfar but, with five course wins, BUSH BEAUTY is attractively weighted for this contest based on recent turf form and will surely go close if reproducing those efforts here.
