CANDLEFORD made light work of Coltrane when scoring at Kempton 7 months ago and, despite being off the track since, he's worth a chance to defy a 6 lb rise. Just Fine is a big danger on the back of a highly encouraging return, while the hat-trick seeking Contact warrants plenty of respect along with several others in a typically hot renewal.
