Capo Rosso won this in 2014 but failed to score last year and was behind runner-up Mont Ras and fifth-placed Ready at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. Mont Ras should be thereabouts again and both Librisa Breeze and Secret Art have a shout if fully primed for their first start of the year. But REVOLUTIONIST made a winning return at Chelmsford last month and Mark Johnston's charge may have enough improvement in him to defy a 7lb rise and go in again.
