In depth
Verdict
None of these fill one with confidence but VALDAN had been in decent form before a poor effort dropped back in trip last time. He had El Libertador and Lucas Pitt behind when scoring over C&D in November and Jamie Spencer's presence in the saddle suggests much better is expected here. Spartan King has claims on last week's third at Wolverhampton and Cantor wasn't beaten far at this track back in August. Rose Aurora is another C&D winner but she's 10lb higher today and ran a shocker last time.
