MOHEEBB won a claimer at Newcastle last month but over a shorter trip. He stays today's distance and given he also handles the going, Robert Johnson's charge gets the tentative vote. Dazzling Valentine should have no trouble with the ground either and scored at Brighton recently while Zaplamation is another who can be given a chance off his current mark. Hernando Torres went close in amateur company at Beverley last time but both he and fast ground Lingfield winner Grand Liaison will find life tougher in this better company.
