Came out on top by just under 3l over 1m6f here (handicap) last month; has winning C&D form to his name; definitely of interest.

Has won here; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win 12 months ago); finished tailed off when dropped back to 1m2f (Turffontein) last month in a handicap; hard enough to fancy.

Held when ninth beaten 17l dropped back in distance 12 days ago in a handicap; has winning form at this track; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win last April); probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Had three of these behind in a handicap when beaten 1½l to finish third upped to this distance two weeks ago; has won at this track; warrants plenty of respect if building on most recent effort.

A course winner; found life tough when 7l back in sixth upped to this distance 12 days ago in a handicap; could be involved if finding his best form.

Verdict
POSITIVE ATTITUDE is strongly fancied to prevail. He comes here off the back of a fair effort last time and can confirm superiority with Samuel Sharpe, Futurewolff and Taxhaven who were behind him when last seen. Bellerophon has winning C&D form.
