DIALOGUE won a more competitive claimer over C&D in October and is clear of today's rivals on official ratings. He's having his first start since November but is the one to beat nonetheless as he's Jimmy Fortune's only ride on the card. A repeat of Bawaardi's fourth in a handicap here last month would see him in the mix and he makes more appeal than Khajaaly, who went very close when third over track and trip last time. Unlimited won this last year but looks up against it on today's terms in a tougher renewal.
