Pandorica has been in fine fettle in soft ground but has plenty to find on today's terms and CALAF boasts the strongest recent form. He's looked a shade high in the weights in decent handicaps during the summer but this is much easier and he can return to winning ways. A winner when trained in Ireland in 2010, Lastofthemohicans seems flattered by his current mark while Humungosaur has the best past form of the remainder ahead of Priestley's Reward and Laughing Jack.
