Dragons Voice won at Windsor when last in action with Sir Plato finishing back in sixth but is 5lb higher on his return. OUD METHA BRIDGE (NAP) has the more recent form with last month’s victory over course and distance and looks worth sticking with given the runner-up has subsequently won. Zlatan is usually in the mix without winning and it’s only a matter of time before Georgian Bay takes advantage of a tumble down the weights.
