This looks pretty tight at the weights. Fire Fighting has won twice over a mile and stayed the 1m4f at Haydock last time while Gold Trail wears Goldophin's first colours ahead of Nottingham winner Zaeemah after finishing runner-up at Sandown. Tabreek and Satellite are both maiden winners over today's distance but another handicap debutant, ROSEBURG, makes most appeal. The latter returned an easy winner at Pontefract when stepped up to 1m2f and further progress is expected from Luca Cumani's colt in this.
