Captain Dimitrios had an easier chance here last Saturday and blew it, though he did have today's rival PICANSORT behind before that. However the latter has since gone close over C&D and, back on a winning mark with Kieren Fallon taking over the reins, he gets the nod. Nubar Boy also arrives in decent form and makes more appeal than Fleetwoodsands, who will need to improve again after winning a lesser contest at Wolverhampton last time, but Caledonia Princess should be thereabouts at the finish.
