Formscan - WOVEN is a highly consistent type for a race of this nature and, perhaps more crucially, he is also a previous C&D winner back over this trip for the first time this season. There are dangers aplenty, with the likes of Yanifer, New Image and Our Havana all capable of being on the premises. However, the class-dropping Aalto is feared most and can go well from a potentially lenient mark if dropping back from a mile isn't an issue.
