Three-year-olds have won this twice in the last three years but Frozen Over disappointed on his handicap debut at Leicester last month. Father Time may be catching up with Mujood while Galatian weakened quickly off this mark at Newmarket last time, though drops in grade here. DR WINTRINGHAM hasn't won for more than a year but has been knocking on the door again lately and this galloping track appears to play to her strengths. She is fancied to land the spoils ahead of another previous C&D winner, Polar Annie.
