Was behind Fairy Knight here two months ago when failing to live up to market expectations; has a C&D record of three wins from seven starts; difficult to oppose as he has defied a similar absence in the past.

Three-time C&D winner, including two months ago when finishing ahead of eight rivals (17-2); poses a threat given his record when fresh.

Verdict

C&D winner Fairy Knight is respected, and Golden Link is one to consider from the best draw. However, CRUISE CONTROL is a confident pick. He holds claims with a modest latest run excused and has won three times over this C&D.
