Dinneratmidnight and Dubawi Coast are a couple of interesting newcomers who require tracking in the market. Of those with form in the book Kuala Queen makes considerable appeal as she looks slightly less exposed than the rest with runs under their belt, with Broadway Ranger also looking interesting after some fair juvenile efforts. However, it may be worth chancing the once -raced ASHKARI. Not beaten far in an average Leicester maiden on debut last October, it's noteworthy that the Cox inmate is dropped in trip for this seasonal reappearance. It's a tricky contest to solve but he's of interest, especially so if the market speaks strongly of his chance.
