MIDNITEMUDCRABS went so close to scoring over this C&D last time and although she had to settle for second place on that occasion, it was a strong sign that she is back to her best. The six-year-old has won off a much higher mark than this so it is definitely in her reach. Gatsby Cap has been in fantastic form recently and should be in the frame once again, while Kudbegood always runs well at this course and so expected to be in contention at the finish.
