BLACKSTONE CLIFF looked better than ever when notching up his third C&D success at the start of the month so is hard to oppose despite being hit with a 6 lb rise. Dande finished an excellent fourth behind the selection that day so this lightly-raced sort is fancied to go well again, with C&D winner Flylikeaneagle another sure to be on the premises too.
