DRAGON'S DEN may just need this but he is by no means badly treated on his victory over C&D in the spring on quicker ground as he ran well off a higher mark at Ffos Las subsequently. We'll give Chris Down's charge a tentative vote as he's only giving a pound to in-form four-year-old Geminus, who's gone up a further 6lb since completing his hat-trick at Plumpton. No Woman No Cry won over this trip at Newton Abbot in August while Rydalis was successful over C&D in May and is only 2lb higher today. Top weight Wings Of Smoke and Regal Flow may be best of the rest.
