LASTKINGOFSCOTLAND can usually be relied on to run his race and even though he came up just short when sent off favourite over C&D last week, Conor Dore's charge can make amends in this. Belinsky is less consistent though perfectly capable of winning at this level on his day and did so at Lingfield last month. He looks the main danger as Monsieur Jamie remains out of sorts and Black Cadillac has struggled off higher marks since scoring over track and trip early last year.
