STOICAL PATIENT was a C&D winner in September 2016 and such was the ease with which he defied a 414-day absence to follow up at Plumpton on his return 18 days ago that he is very hard to oppose now despite another 10lb hike. He had any amount in hand last time and with this shorter trip no concern, gets the nod to continue his winning streak. The main danger could be
Spiritofchartwell, who himself defied an absence of nearly two years to score over this C&D in September. He's been given plenty time to recover from that winning return and can get involved again from 8lb higher.
Barney From Tyanee and
Give Him Time are the others with most potential in the context of this race.
