SOMETHING SPLENDID got off the mark with a bit up his sleeve over C&D just under 3 weeks ago and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Lemurian is open to further improvement now handicapping, so he heads up the dangers on return from a break for his in-form yard. The hat-trick-seeking Gloryous and Zarakerjack can fight out minor honours.
