Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but low-mileage CAPTAIN PARMA could have more to offer after a break so edges the vote ahead of in-form maiden Crystal Dagger. Last year's victorTadreeb must enter calculations too, while How Impressive can also have a say if on song again.

Captain Parma (Ire) silk

In fine form since being gelded, winning at Soutwell in October and fourth off a 5 lb higher mark 13 there (7f) last time. Can go very well again off an unchanged mark with few miles still on the clock.

Crystal Dagger silk

Still a maiden but she posted a good second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago, despite hanging left. One to consider.

A 5-time C&D winner, including in this 12 months ago. Only eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 10 days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back here.
