ROCK OF BISMANTOVA sprung a 33-1 surprise when winning a similar contest last time but a 3-point penalty and top-weight 61.5kg makes this a tougher assignment. DANTE'S BOND is closely matched on that form and should turn the tables on the revised weight terms, especially with improvement expected in his peak outing. Last-start maiden winners SOSORU and HAT'S MAMBO are 3yo geldings with scope for further progress, so they could have roles to play on handicap debut. Filly TRADITONAL BELIEF completes the shortlist.
