DRAWNFROMTHEPAST scored over C&D last month and was only beaten a nose at Lingfield last time. He's worth sticking with in his current form and gets the vote. Baby Strange ended his long losing run with victory at Pontefract a fortnight ago and remains on a winning mark compared to last year's victory over C&D while Island Legend has a shout on his return from a lay-off. Clear Praise and Decision By One are not out of this on their best form but Queen Grace looks high enough in the weights at present.
