Black Caesar has won here five times and has to come into the reckoning. He had another prolific course winner in GOOD LUCK CHARM back in fifth when winning over track and trip in May but the latter re-opposes on much better terms today and won last year’s renewal off a 6lb higher mark. Kachumba has won over course and distance twice this year and ran well at Yarmouth last time while Lady Marigold is back on a winning mark if rediscovering her best.
