Verdict

CAUTIOUS APPROACH got back to winning ways last month following a change of tactics and can follow up that win off a 6lb lower mark in this contest. The five-year-old has a significant jockey booking in Chris Hayes and can hold off the attentions of the hat-trick seeking Jon Ess for trainer Conor O'Dwyer. C&D winner Muzbid looks capable of hitting the frame once again while the Joseph O'Brien-trained Millswyn should be checked in the market on polytrack debut.
