Came out on top by 1l over 7½f at Vaal (stakes race) beating Texas Red and Musical Score five months ago; unbeaten over this C&D after two runs and likes it here (five wins); returns from a break today; Absence is no concern; has gone well after a break before and likely to be in contention.

Verdict
A wide-open contest but MAIN DEFENDER could be the runner to side with. He is looking to improve his already excellent record at this distance and can reverse last time's placings with Money Heist. Musical Score has won over C&D.
