Moment In The Sun and Multifac'Eted are hard to fancy on today's terms but the remaining trio can all be given a chance. Chief Of Men is dropped in class after a modest reappearance at Newmarket but is a C&D winner and not easily dismissed while Resuscitator rattled up a hat-trick on the Polytrack early last season but hasn't raced for over a year now. A LITTLE BIT DUSTY returns to the Flat after a successful spell over hurdles and with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back, he may just have the edge in this having scored three times on the all-weather in 2011.
