Verdict

Plenty of guesswork needed as which one of these will bounce back to form and a purely speculative vote goes to WATERLOO DOCK. He showed a bit more over C&D last time and is now 2lb lower than when beating today's rival Chjimes at this time last year. The latter has also slipped down the weights but rarely gets his head in front nowadays, while the selection also has the beating of Athaakeel on earlier form. Do More Business posted a better effort last time and is preferred to Young Simon of the others.
