Mobaadel showed enough potential at the end of last year to start favourite on his reappearance at Leicester but wasn't right and also lost a shoe. He's much better than that though may be best watched for now. Velvet And Steel has been narrowly beaten the last twice and has to be a threat to all but Karuoka has shown moderate form in both starts on fast ground. EMERGING made a belated debut at Doncaster earlier in the month where he travelled well until finding no extra in the closing stages. With that behind him he can get off the mark as Liberty Warrior was staying on over 1m2f at Sandown so could find this on the short side.
