Verdict

Cape Royal has slipped back down to the same mark as when scoring at Nottingham in October and Imaginary Diva is another with claims given she scored over track and trip last season. Last year's renewal was among the three C&D victories recorded by STONECRABSTOMORROW an all ground comes alike to Mike Attwater's charge so he gets the nod with a recent comeback run under his belt. Bookiesindex Boy finished runner-up at Folkestone last time but that's now 32 starts on Turf without success while the ground looks to have gone against previous C&D winner Simple Rhythm.
