The newcomer Cape Abel represents last year’s winning yard while Godolphin’s Al Maysan is related to a Listed winner in Germany. Line Of Enquiry made a promising start when third at Lingfield in November and can figure while Martin's Brig has placed in both starts so far and is another to consider. Win O'clock looks a likely improver but RIDESON gets another chance. The latter failed to land the odds over track and trip last time but the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form and Roger Varian’s filly may prove the one to side with.
