LAHAB signalled he is ready to end a losing run when a good recent second here so is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of three-time C&D scorer Volenti. Book of Life is also weighted to have a say, with Mercurius Power and Trais Fluors also worthy of respect in a competitive event.
