A back-end novice in which the market will be revealing but preference is for GAMEKEEPER, who is John & Thady Gosden's sole runner on the card and market support would only heighten confidence somewhat further. The main danger may emerge from Pilgrim, who has experience on his side and has twice run well over C&D in recent weeks. Bona Fortuna, Alhoby and Thunder Flow are just a handful of others worth considering.
