The three-year-old LOADED had to fight hard to hold off The Invisible Dog at Ffos Las but is progressing nicely and looks the one to be on. Captain Lars has a strike-rate of 7-30 so can never be dismissed though his victories have come in lower class events. Sarangoo wins on all kinds of surfaces and has been running very well on Turf recently while Morache Music has won six times on Turf and only run twice on an artificial surface. Gambit has disappointed since scoring at Wolverhampton in March but Arab Poet has been running well enough at a similar level on Turf to get involved.
