CANTOR failed to cope with a 5lb rise last time having won at this track before that. But given it's hard to make a decent case for any of today's opposition, Giles Bravery's charge gets the token vote. Bond Artist has six lengths to make up with the selection and Minimee has been well beaten since scoring over 7f at Yarmouth last month. Claude Monet and Ellaal have tumbled down the weights but both finished nearer last on their latest starts while Buaiteoir has the past form to figure.
