After winning on his return to action after a lengthy break ITLAAQ can come on for the run and follow up. John Dunlop's runner has scored here before and his run behind Eastern Aria last season now looks very smart form. The chances are that the progressive Nationalism is well treated on handicap debut but it's not certain and the same could be said for Godolphin's Sowaylm. Benandonner should make any list with his yard in good form but Itlaaq has some strong form lines to support his chances and should improve from his return run.
