The progressive Tarooq went in again at Wolverhampton last time and another bold bid is not beyond him off a 3lb higher mark. But SIMAYILL also looks on the upgrade judged on her first victory at Lingfield last month and there should be more to come from Clive Brittain's filly as she drops down a grade here. Santefisio looks likely to be in the firing-line once again, while Chilli Green had Prince Of Burma behind when third over 7f at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Lockantanks is also in fine form after a good effort at Wolverhampton and is another to consider in a competitive race.
