None of these arrive in the best of form but PEKANHEIM drops down a grade after a better showing over these fences last month and may be good enough off his current mark. Reverse The Charge was placed yet again when third at Perth last time though still well beaten while Endeavor scored at Sedgefield in May but has been tailed off in both starts since. The veteran Humbel Ben continues to struggle and Lord Of Drums has shown little since returning from a lengthy lay-off.
