DRAFTED has made the frame twice in handicaps here this season, so he can bounce back from a below-par run returned to this course. He is taken to come out on top as he drops in grade, though Desert Charm is respected arriving on the back of a handicap success at Chepstow, with Heer's Sadie also in the mix.
