DRAWNFROMTHEPAST is the one most likely to run his race and gets the vote on that basis. He has a half-length to make up with today's rival Deerslayer on their running at Wolverhampton in September, but the latter is best at that track and Jamie Osborne's charge can turn the form around here. Le Toreador was well beaten in the same race but landed a double over C&D early this year, while Osiris Way returned to something like his best when second at Kempton last month and is another with claims.
