DAHIK made a big impression on his debut at Doncaster and started odds-on at Chester but found that track a very different test and he didn't get the run of the race. He gets the nod as he's definitely better than that and should do best of those with experience as Fab was beaten a long way when runner-up here last week. Haveoneyerself was behind the selection at Chester but should do better over an extra furlong while Richard Hannon's newcomer Ursus Belle cost 75,000gns and should leave scorch marks if her pedigree is anything to go by.
