Ghadbbaan was almost two lengths ahead of FLINT HILL when third at Pontefract earlier this month and is only a pound worse off but the latter wasn’t enjoying the soft ground that day and may well reverse the form. Prince Abu has no form on this surface but Quercus Robur won at Redcar in the autumn and has shown himself to be suited by 2m since. Irish import Star Angel goes beyond 1m4f for the first time so will have stamina to prove.
