There is not a great deal between this quartet at the weights but both What A Party and Baker have been struggling of late and are hard to recommend as a consequence. Cornelious has a 4lb advantage over STEADY MAJOR but finished behind the latter when Simon Dow's charge was third at Windsor earlier in this month. The top weight can confirm that form here and come out best.
Cornelious (IRE) 5-2fav (9-3) Took keen hold, tracking leaders, ridden 2f out, weakened inside final furlong, 6th of 10, 9 1/2l behind Dovil's Duel (9-0) at Windsor 1m 2f stks (5) sft in Oct.
What A Party (IRE) 16-1 (9-4) Slowly into stride, held up, ridden on outside over 2f out, soon beaten, last of 9, 12 1/4l behind Edge Of Heaven (9-4) at Leicester 1m hcp fll (5) gf in Jun.
Baker 20-1 (9-2) In touch, pushed along over 3f out, weakened over 1f out, 7th of 10, 11l behind Omotesando (9-5) at Nottingham 1m 2f hcp (5) sft in Oct.
Steady Major (IRE) 11-4 (9-3) Towards rear and in touch, ridden over 1f out, one pace, 4th of 5, 3 1/4l behind Brasted (9-3) at Chelmsford City 1m stks (6) pol in Oct.
