All four recent C&D winners are worthy of consideration but Noah Jameel's victory looks the best form of the quartet and he's preferred to Ocean Of Peace, Sir Haydn and Carr Hall. Abigails Angel is sure to be thereabouts once again but she's proving hard to win with and MARKET PUZZLE makes more appeal. He won off today's mark at Ripon last season and returned to action with a creditable third over C&D three weeks ago. With that pipe-opener under his belt, Mark Brisbourne's charge looks set to strike here.
