BARADAR can easily be forgiven his run in the Buckingham Palace on account of the ground. His efforts in the Lincoln and Victoria Cup prior to that suggest he can win one of these top-end handicaps and he gets the nod with the recent rain very much in his favour. Vafortino has already landed one big pot over this C&D and looks sets for a bold bid on the back of his recent York near miss. Bunbury Cup hero Biggles and last year's second Bless Him complete the shortlist.
