Pyromaniac

J: N Baboo ⁹

T: J V A Strydom

Creditable sixth, beaten 2l, of eight in a stakes race 14 days ago; producing consistent form and this is his level; he's an attractive contender if confirming promise shown last time.

Dynalley

Brenden James

J: C Little

T: J P Nel

Finished ninth of 12 over 1m here (handicap) four weeks ago; good C&D record (three wins) and potentially on a good mark; likely to go well as some leniency shown by handicapper.

Kingdom Of Heaven

J: S Khathi

T: K Mitchley

Cheeky Laddie

Only finished fourth of nine despite odds of 13-8 over Christmas; potentially well treated on his best form; must be respected as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

C&D winner Cheeky Laddie is respected, and William The First has a good draw and is shortlisted. However, HOLOCENE can prove superior to his rivals. He has been a winner once over this C&D.
