CLOTH CAP does most of his racing on left-handed tracks nowadays but he has run well here in the past and, down in grade, his bold-jumping style could have a number of these rivals in trouble early, so he's worth chancing to hold off the closers at the business end. Grand Sancy looked right back in form last time, so he's feared most, while Caribean Boy could benefit from first-time cheekpieces.
