Danum and Court Of Justice will rightly have their followers today, but we will take a chance with Cantemerle. Mark Brisbourne's mare returns to the flat following a modest spell over hurdles. However she does have some pretty decent form on the level, including an excellent second in a Newcastle handicap this time last year. Dropping into this grade for the first time she looks worth an interest. Danum looked to be on his way back when fourth to Halcyon Magic last time and he will be a big danger to all. Court Of Justice comes her following a terrific victory over the sticks at Ludlow. The fact he hasn't raced on the flat for almost five years is a concern, but he is still expected to run well. Lady Stratagem looks the pick of the remainder, but for the winner it has to be Cantermerle.
