Best Guess makes a quick reappearance after missing the break a week ago and looks certain to improve. Initial Attempt made a promising start over track and trip in November and though only mid-division on a return visit a couple of weeks later stumbled at the start and lost a shoe. Pulse Light showed some potential on Turf last summer but TAKE HEART looks the one to beat. Johnny Murtagh's son of Dark Angel was well supported over the trip three weeks ago and was only beaten just over a length with Real History well beaten. Riesling can show improvement over this longer trip.
