Verdict

CURTIZ has failed to shine in four starts so far this season, but he's now 3 lb lower in the weights compared to when landing this race last year and is worth chancing back at a course where he clearly excels. Sly Madam is feared greatly on the back of her thoroughly decisive C&D success last week, for all that a number of her rivals that day seemingly failed to fire. Maysong has been holding his form well this year and is likely to be on the premises, too.
