Cautious Approach won a maiden here in March and scored again at Killarney last month so has to be respected along with Footsteps At Dawn, whose only victory to date came here in March. ANFAASS gained a surprise victory here in November and though he's been running reasonably well on Turf can return here on a 10lb lower mark so looks the one to beat. Munaajaat has yet to reach a place but came close in a big field at the Curragh last month when staying on over 7f so looks the main threat. His former stable companion But I Like It looks best of the remainder on his debut for new connections.
