Randjo has been a costly failure on a couple of occasions including at Chepstow a month ago though it's more than likely he found the trip too short that day. It's a long time since Mylord Collonges won a race but he's now dropped markedly in the weights though MORENITO looks the one to be on. Tom George's charge has returned from a long absence to run really well before tiring at the last on his two runs this season and should be spot-on to regain the winning thread. Ere Alfie has run so poorly on his two recent starts that he's difficult to fancy but Marias Rock made a winning reappearance last year though she's 10lb higher this time.
