Almanera and Barbapapa have both finished first past in barrier trials here. The former didn't get the run of the race over the track and trip in October while the latter has been gelded since a moderate opening run at Gowran and should do better back on this surface. The former's yard also run Hypernova, who also ran in a barrier trial before a promising start last month though TOGETHER ACLAIM looks the one to beat. Gavin Cromwell's charge was just beaten over a mile here before starting odds-on over the trip last month where he couldn't quite contain Doitforandrew, who has won easily since. Urban Oasis has a speedy pedigree and is one to note in the market.
