Come On Dave will figure if handling the Fibresand though prolific winner Fol Hollow has yet to score at any of the all-weather tracks. Argentine and The Magic Of Rio have both won at the course with preference for the former on today's terms but a chance is taken on SPIRIT OF CONISTON. He also has a bit to find at the weights but went close in handicap company at Doncaster last time and Paul Midgley's charge looks capable of adding to his four previous victories over C&D in this.
