Only a small field but plenty of interest with the betting likely to favour the two doubly penalised runners with WHOSHOTTHESHERIFF favoured over Liva although he will need to just tidy up his jumping that looked rather sloppy in the closing stages last time. Pagero is the one who could well be the improver with his sights lowered from the two Grade 2 races he’s been asked to contest so far and the betting may well tell the story of his ambitions here. Staged Engagement looks a capable sort but his fitness wouldn’t be assured and he looks to need a greater test of stamina than this C&D will provide.
