Midnight Callisto won twice last season and was third on her return to action at Taunton. City Derby was a winner here in April but beaten in a seller at Plumpton last month. Belvedere Blast has a career record of 1-28 so this may end up as a battle between WAVERING DOWN and Couldbeaweapon. The latter will be helped by Luca Morgan’s claim but Jeremy Scott’s charge is just preferred having not enjoyed the soft ground last time at Fontwell.
