RING OF GOLD scored over C&D under Jim Crowley in November and has continued in good form since, so with Crowley back on board he is taken to resume winning ways this time around. Heading the list of dangers is the hat-trick seeking Follow Your Heart, with Brunel Charm another to consider

PLAY SMARTER

JUST BRING IT showed much improved form when third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton 4 months ago and with the pair that beat him that day both having won since, Clive Cox’s charge is selected to get the job done on reappearance. Tomahawk King shaped well on handicap bow when fifth here last week so he could be the main threat, with Choisya another fancied to feature now handicapping.
