Verdict

Four of the 5 runners have tasted C&D success. MONTEZUMA hasn't finished out of the first 2 in his 4 previous C&D visits and is taken to bounce back to form with a bang and prove too strong for last year's winner Curious Rover. Sole 3-y-o Mighty Magnus shaped quite well at Newmarket last time and should also be on the premises.
