Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fourth win); finished last of ten a year ago in a Listed handicap race; might find this easier; returns from an absence here.

A poor result at a short price when fifth 15 days ago in a Listed race; can be in the mix as shown he can get his head in front and lower class is a plus.

Verdict

It's hard to get away from CYMRIC. He finished ahead of The Playboy Bomber and The Africa House when last seen and ran with credit last time. The Africa House has a good draw and is shortlisted while the otherwise interesting Calantha has a stamina query to answer at this trip, and Truth, Calantha and The Africa House are C&D winners.
