The lack of an obvious front-runner somewhat muddies the waters but 4-time C&D winner VENTURA EXPRESS has been plying his trade in better company this season and was unlucky not to finish much closer when runner-up at Beverley last time. He's preferred to fellow C&D winner Elegant Erin who has some strong form for the grade this season and arrives in form, while Bosh eases further in class and could be dangerous having his first start over this trip since his debut.
