CANTOR was having only his second outing of the year when runner-up to the in-form Goal at this track a fortnight ago. Giles Bravery's charge gets the nod to confirm superiority with both Greyemkay and Kyle Of Bute. The latter had previously beaten Elizabeth Coffee over track and trip while Scepticism has been raised only 3lb for winning here a week ago though that was his first success in 15 starts. Bond Artist went close over a shorter trip at this track last time and may also figure.
