RUSTAMABAD has been thereabouts in both starts to date and the return to a longer trip should suit Tim Vaughan's charge. He beat a subsequent winner when third at Huntingdon last time and that looks stronger form than Missile Man's fourth at Plumpton. Draco's Code could go well if handling the testing ground having gone very close on the Polytrack on her debut when finishing ahead of King Louis while Jennifer Eccles makes most appeal of the newcomers ahead of Church Leap.
