MASTERS CLUB recorded November's victories in plating company over longer trips and was well beaten back in a handicap last time. Irish raider Echo Knight has bits of form that give him a chance and Kieren Fallon picks up the ride, but the vote goes to ARABIAN FLIGHT. She's been placed over 6f here the last twice and today's longer trip may bring about the improvement needed to get her head in front. Dicky Mint will need to step up on his earlier efforts over today's distance and Songbird Blues looks a bigger threat as she had Small Steps behind when fifth at Southwell last time.
