The lightly-raced Require stayed on strongly to score over C&D last month and won't be far away again under Kirsty Milczarek if reproducing that run on this faster ground. But EX ORIENTE had absolutely no luck in-running behind Gospel Choir at Ascot two weeks ago and is fancied to come out on top here off the same mark. Al Saham still looks too high in the weights but Flashman won easily at Haydock last month and Third Half looked ready for a step up in distance when scoring over 1m2f last time. Enery and Hidden Justice have also shown enough to suggest they can get involved.
