Verdict
WYETH hasn't raced much in the last couple of years but showed signs of a return to form here last time. Gary Moore's charge has won twice over C&D and looks capable of giving weight to these modest rivals. Acropolis has forgotten how to win but has been placed over C&D before and Henry Holmes turned in a better effort to finish third here last time. Olivino was placed in an amateur event over C&D in November and Pinsplitter could figure if proving suited to today's longer trip.
