Most of these are struggling for form to some degree or other, but not so AL RUFAA, who was value for a wide-margin win over C&D last month. He can defy a 12lb rise with conditions ideal, with the progressive Bear Force One looking the main threat on recent form despite dropping back in trip. Both Royal Marine and Fox Champion are taking a marked drop in class, and it would not be a shock to see them revived in the circumstances.
