Came up a bit short, beaten 2½l when favourite, (dropped a few pounds since) in February; returns from a break today; should not be far away with lower class a definite positive and shown he can get his head in front.

Got the job done by 2l here over 6f (handicap) 35 days ago; unbeaten through two career starts; on a hat-trick after last win; yard is ticking along nicely and running in a handicap for just the second time; big run on the cards despite being up in class and steep rise in the ratings seems justified.

Verdict

COUNT INVICTO looks the one to back. He is yet to taste defeat and is in rude health. King's Ransom has winning form over C&D while the otherwise interesting Buffalo Storm Cody has a stamina query to answer at this trip, and.
