El Bravo had Cool Kid a neck behind when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and there's very little between the pair on the revised terms. Rodrigo De Freitas was gaining his first Polytrack success on his 19th start when successful over the C&D a month ago so a 5lb rise looks excessive. Landesherr is well handicapped on his best form though he's still without a win on the surface unlike Sir Dylan, who is just 2lb higher than when scoring over the C&D in November. TIME SQUARE was running well at this time a year ago and has had just two starts since March. He's dropped to a very fair mark and is taken to gain his first success on the all-weather.
