Mount Arbora will need to step up on her recent placed efforts in sellers and UNCLE ROGER is preferred. Though well beaten over 2m last time, he scored over track and trip in October and this looks no tougher. Delightful Sleep finished a length ahead of Arashi when runner-up over 1m3f here before his latest below-par effort over course and distance and Chapter Five looks more favourably handicapped, though she's making her debut for a new yard on her first start since 2011. Rahy's Promise has plenty to find if he's to figure but may well finish closer on his handicap bow and visored for the first time.
