Knights Templar has only won once in 17 all-weather starts and that was over 7f here in 2009. He seems best at that trip but the maiden Cosmic Symbol ran his best race to date over the course and distance last week and a repeat would see him in the action. Modern Tutor is running well though he's never won on the surface nor has Super Focus, though she's only had two runs here, both over 1m2f. BILLYFORD has won five times around here though not since completing a hat-trick in March 2012. He's dropped to such a lowly mark as a consequence that a chance is taken on a revival, especially as he showed a bit more here last month.
