ATTAIN is a course specialist and makes a quick reappearance after a third place here earlier this week when he didn't quite get the run of the race. He had Betsalottie behind and should take care of that one again but Iballisticvin is greatly respected under Ryan Moore despite not having run since scoring at Kempton in October. Olly Murphy is making a big impression and his new acquisition Yensir, who has only had three all-weather starts, won't be inconvenienced by an absence since September. Widnes is 0-16 but a second place behind Sanches here in December puts him in the picture.
