Bernardo O'Reilly is the only one of these with form on heavy going but, like Heath Charnock, he has a lot to find with the other two on these terms. Tabdeed has only been beaten once so far and that was in a Group 3. He has shown he goes well fresh but, on the ground, the three-year-old OXTED is preferred as he has run well twice in decent company at Newbury since making a winning reappearance at Salisbury in April.
