Normally pretty consistent; a respectable runner-up of nine last month in a Class 5; easy to see him making an impression if building on promise shown last time.

She can be competitive at this level; not beaten too far when fifth here in a Class 4 three weeks ago; must go on the shortlist from an inside gate which could lead to a ground-saving trip and shown she can get her head in front.

Good effort when close up 41 days ago in a Class 5; normally pretty consistent; Craig Zackey booking heightens interest; should be thereabouts if building on last performance.

Verdict

A tricky puzzle to solve but GORGEOUS DUDE gets the nod. He has been running consistently well of late. Kimball O'Hara has produced plenty of good efforts, Kimball O'Hara, Sail To The Moon and Saudi Sweep have run well previously over this C&D, and Saudi Sweep is an interesting contender with an ideal draw.
