COURAGEOUS has fallen to a very attractive mark and gave notice a return to form was imminent when fifth on his latest start at Doncaster. Now with Milton Bradley, he's well drawn here and Kieren Fallon can steer him to an overdue success. Stall 10 may not be ideal but Rafaaf otherwise has plenty in his favour and was only beaten half-a-length in a blanket finish at Newmarket last month, while Fair Value and Ray Of Joy only found one too good in their latest outings at Folkestone and Salisbury respectively. Oldjoesaid is back in form but finds it tough to win at this level nowadays so Ganas may be the pick of the remainder.
