Lualiwa is the only one of these with an official rating having performed with credit in a tough Doncaster nursery. Like MUQAATIL he has a long absence to overcome but the latter looked a certain future winner when just failing to hold off Melting Dew at Lingfield in November and can go one better. The remainder with experience haven't shown much so the newcomer Bobbio, a son of the speedy Choisir out of a winning miler, is one to note in the market as he should be ideally suited by this trip.
