CORTON LAD has been brilliantly placed by Keith Dalgleish to win 10 races and though he hasn't scored since landing a Class 3 handicap here last May he's now dropped to a very winnable mark and his regular partner's claim is a bonus. An Fear Ciuin is on a losing run stretching back to 2016 and is likely to find this on the short side while the maiden Arch Gold has never raced beyond 1m2f and his stamina so to be taken on trust. Dual all-weather winner Emerald Rocket has yet to win on Turf but ran well on fast going at Ripon on his penultimate start so has to be considered.
