This looks fairly competitive but there was enough encouragement in his finishing effort over C&D last time to suggest WHYNOTNOWROY could just be worth chancing to build on that run operating from such a lowly mark. Imperial Measure has more races in him judged on his recent C&D second and is feared. Plumpton-scorer Activist back up in trip and Wellwillya also command respect.
