Runyon Rattler has had plenty of experience over hurdles and scored at Wexford in July while Sitting Bull didn't make his racecourse debut until a fortnight ago and ran well enough to suggest he'll be winning soon. ZANJABEEL scored over timber in October and very nearly gained his first victory on the level when just caught by Song Of Love over this course and distance last week, form that should be good enough for this. The Paris Shrug showed the benefit of her opening run with a fine effort over the track and trip last month when just failing to concede 5lb to Dancing Doll. Train Time had looked a likely future winner when twice narrowly beaten but didn't run up to her best form last time though she's bred to appreciate this longer trip.
