Cotton Trader has finished a beaten favourite in five of his six outings and patience has run out with him. Hamis Al Bin makes more appeal as he went close on his first start since last summer when second at Southwell last week and will have come on for the run, but a chance is taken on DRUMMOND. He ended last season with a close-up fifth at Sandown in September and Clive Cox's charge is likely to have progressed since then. The remainder have plenty to find though Dropzone is expected to improve on his recent debut seventh at this track.
