January C&D winner DUKE COSIMO has held his form on the AW since and is best forgiven his recent soft-ground turf run at Ripon. Back here, and just 1lb above that winning mark, he can give a good account. Tigerwolf is in excellent form and should mount a bold bid as he goes unpenalised for last week's Wolverhampton score in apprentice class while Independence Day had plenty in hand at Chelmsford in March, though this is tougher. The retuning Epeius is worth a market check, given he's won over C&D before and is on a good mark.
