Not the strongest of opening contests, but plenty of previous C&D form on offer. Baraboy is one of those who generally runs his usual solid enough race here, so should be in the reckoning if fit and well from a break, whilst the in-form Rockcliffe could feasibly land the hat-trick for Micky Hammond upped just 6lb for his latest success. Hey Bob is another to consider, with his Southwell success very well advertised by the runner up since (the 129-rated Vado Forte). However, a complete shot in the dark is aimed at the maiden MISS BENEFITZ. She's shown nothing over the past two years, but is lowly rated now and with a trainer who tends to excel with such types.
