CHRYSANDER isn't totally reliable but seemed to be on good terms with himself when smoothly beating Cockatoo in a similar C&D contest last month. It's difficult to imagine Sweet World, Starburst or Yourgolftravel Com will turn the tables here but Abstract Art produced a much better effort at Leicester last time and would have claims if reproducing that form. Olivino won a better race under Isabel Tompsett at Stratford last September and had a spin on the all-weather recently to blow away a few cobwebs. The 10-year-old is probably the main danger to Evan Williams' charge.
