EVERYMANFORHIMSELF was headed close home over C&D on his latest start. He had Caprio, Fishforcompliments and Timeteam behind on that occasion and Kevin Ryan's charge can confirm superiority and go one better in this similar contest. Batchworth Blaise went close here recently but looks up against it at today's weights and a bigger threat could come from Avonrose. A winner at Ascot back in July, she makes her all-weather debut here and cannot be left out of calculations.
