Longliner won't be much of a price but has the best form on offer to his name here. However, he is proving expensive to follow and we will take him on with SEASIDE SIZZLER. Strictly on the official ratings here he has plenty to find with Longliner, who seems to find little when asked for an effort. Even so, Ralph Beckett's string is going well and this Rahy gelding should appreciate fast ground and this trip, while first-time blinkers may just do the trick, so we'll take a chance on him. Kashmiriana should come on for his debut and is bred to go well at this trip and beyond, so he couldn't be ruled out. Nerves Of Steel is another with a similar profile and was doing all of his best work at the finish last time. Sentosa ran very green on debut and should have learned plenty from that, but Seaside Sizzler is suggested.
