Russian Reward has shown that he can win at this trip, but may not get the easy lead that he prefers and the same can be said for Glens Wobbly, who has a good record here but ideally wants further. Sharjah won over hurdles earlier this month but isn’t well handicapped on the Flat while Henryhudsonbridge doesn’t stay this far so preference is for ATTAIN. He has been running well without reward since picking up a similar contest over course and distance in April and although he is a touch high in the handicap, this won’t take much winning.
