Sohaib has looked a smart performer this term and was allowed to dictate terms to land a Chester Listed event over this trip in May. The son of Kingmambo has not been seen out since but with his yard in top form he should prove hard to peg back in this small field. Imperial Dancer has progressed well in Pattern company this term and his turn of foot will make him a serious threat. Border Arrow would have preferred easier conditions and the penalised Swallow Flight may find this trip stretching his stamina.
