Verdict
Jonny Levins has four entries with jockey bookings offering few clues though Ronan Whelan has ridden Complicit several times and his mount has taken a drop in the ratings. Geological started the year on a 16lb higher mark and showed a bit more dash here last week though that was over 7f. AGGRESSION made a successful debut here almost two years ago but has only had two subsequent runs. He was never in the hunt behind My Good Brother here in September but was noted staying on when the race was all over and gets a chance to kick-start his career. The latter completed a hat-trick that month and has been given a short break. He has to be considered off just 1lb higher while Danz Gift, runner-up to him last time, should also get involved again as he's surprisingly been dropped 2lb. Captain Cullen hasn't won since scoring over the trip at the Curragh last October but he's been racing in better company and is 8lb lower. Soul Brother started favourite in the race won by stable companion Cappadocia last week but lost a shoe.
