Beaten just over 4l when sixth of eight but didn't run badly at 20-1 (this distance Greyville Polytrack, handicap) five months ago; potentially on a good mark but a while since he has been in the winners' enclosure; returns from a layoff; makes little appeal

Verdict

WILLIAM RUFUS is a firm choice. He has shown a liking for this course and distance and can confirm placings with Gentleman's Way, Parmenion and Giambattista, who were behind last month. Gentleman's Way isn't out of it while White Cedar warrants respect although a big hike in the weights tempers enthusiasm, and L'ultimo is taken to mount a serious challenge.
