Mamdood was slowly away on debut at Wolverhampton but showed promise and a good run from Gmaash in the opener would enhance his claims. Diamond Bear is interesting now she has her sights lowered while Glendun has only finished out of the frame once so far. Esloobaha has hinted at ability but Michael Bell's pair - Maori Bob and the once-raced Chakra - are probably best watched. AKKADIAN EMPIRE was positively ridden over 7f here last time but reeled in close home by a newcomer. He could hang on this time with the return to a mile expected to suit.
