Finished last of 11 at Vaal 49 days ago; a C&D winner; grade looks suitable; tame effort last time but second two starts back, albeit a fair way off the winner, three months ago; is respected.

Likes this combination of C&D; split Banyan and Abound (Vaal) when fourth beaten just under 3l last month; chance as mark is dropping and has proved he knows how to win.

Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; finished third but only beaten just under 3l (had Top Division (fourth) and Abound (fifth) behind, Vaal) three weeks ago; his best form stacks up so has claims.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Vaal (beaten just over 3l) last month; all his winning form has come at Fairview (three successes) and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last Christmas).

C&D has proven suitable before; went down by three-quarters of a length at Vaal last month; jockey booking is a positive.

Verdict

A tricky puzzle to solve but BANYAN is the selection. He has shown he can get his head in front and can confirm superiority with Top Division and Abound who were behind him when last seen. C&D winner One Tiger is respected.
