Therefore, Protest Rally (winner) and HOVER ON THE WIND (second) could be the pair to focus on. The former narrowly held sway when they clashed over track-and-trip last month. However, the latter is 6lb better off at the weights, when factoring in his rider's claim, and can turn things around. Veteran Copper Knight isn't the force of old but he returned to form last time with a game effort and is dangerously well treated off this mark. However he will be taken on up front at this stiff track and could be vulnerable to the in form ANCIENT TIMES. He's won 2 of his last 3 and remains feasibly treated on old his form. C&D winner Protest Rally has a career high mark to defy but is also respected.
