MADE FOR YOU is narrowly preferred to the in-form Collingham over this trip with regular partner Daire Davis’ big claim also in his favour. Both are previous course winners but the latter didn’t appear to last home when tried over 2m4f at Perth in April. It’s difficult to make much of a case for the other pair.
