Humble Hero went close over a similar trip at Chester last time and has every chance. Shraaoh ran well for fourth in better company at Newmarket on his first start for Harry Fry and can figure on that form but ARAB MOON also drops in class. The latter struggled to get involved in a Class 2 contest over course and distance last time but drops further down the weights and won twice under Silvestre De Sousa last year. Sky Eagle was placed over 1m4f at York recently while Cape Caster finished in front of Seaport when fifth over today’s trip at Haydock last month.
