Not much strength in depth to a weak contest that will take little winning. Woodsmoke is best in on official figures but appeared to lose his form in the second half of last season and his return on turf confirmed this view. Dangerous Liaison is a course and distance winner who will handle the ground but has been well beaten in selling company of late while Bullfighter has something to find with Capital Access. Brian Meehan's charge was disappointing last time but will appreciate the return to the minimum trip and has claims on his previous placing when runner-up in a Lingfield all-weather handicap.
