Six of the seven are course and distance winners and Lust has won over the trip in Listed company on Turf. Six-times track winner Freescape won from 4lb higher last December while MIGDAM, a dual winner at Kempton, is unbeaten on the surface having made a winning track debut last month for which he is 7lb higher. He holds Punk Poet on that run while Ransom completed a double here last winter as did Mulgrave, who is 2lb worse off with him having been beaten a neck in February. Brains, a 10-times all-weather winner in the UK, made a winning debut in a claimer here last week where he made all for a very easy victory.
