MAJOR CONQUEST has struggled to make an impact in much better company than this of late. However, he comes out best at the weights today and the drop to this level may bring a return to winning ways. Ice Trooper is another with the past form to figure if he can rediscover it, but Windsor runner-up Silver Turn makes more appeal and Scarlet Rocks, second at Wolverhampton last month, also has solid claims. The remainder look up against it on today's terms.
