BOWERMAN took a step back in the right direction when fifth over C&D last time and is taken to capitalise on a 4 lb lower mark now to bag a fourth C&D success. Sky Legend made an encouraging start for Denis Hogan here last month and is feared most, although Roman Bull, Je T'Ai Porte and Cursory Exam all need shortlisting too in a very open handicap.
