Verdict
Tributo dead-heated for first in a lower grade contest at Wolverhampton recently while Legende D'art scored here before finishing runner-up to Whittle Le Woods. But a line through the latter should see CRY HAVOC go close again having been beaten less than a length in a tougher race at Wolverhampton last time. Dutch Decoy is usually in the mix and is preferred to novice runner-up Flatley while Main Target will be sharper for a recent reappearance.
