Several of these are dual track winners including Notforalongtime, who completed a double over the trip in the autumn and has continued to perform well. James McAuley has three entries with Colin Keane on board RODERICK, a dual winner for Richard Fahey in 2018 before heading to France where he won a Deauville handicap in 2021. He returned from a long break to run well over 6f a fortnight ago and looks the one to beat. Big Baby Bull, four times a winner on Turf, hasn't shown much in two starts on this surface but takes a big drop in class as does Jaafel, who went up 10lb after completing a double over the trip in December.
