GRACESOLUTION is on a lengthy losing run but looks weighted to go close able to race off the same mark as when a good recent C&D third so edges the vote. Both Alphonse Le Grande and Golden Sandbanks have winning form here so rate the main dangers and can chase home Paul Flynn's 7-y-o in that order. Believe In Science completes the shortlist.
