LINKABLE scored over course and distance last time with El Libertador a length behind in third. The presence of Richard Hughes suggests another bold bid is expected despite a 4lb rise and Brendan Powell's charge gets the vote. Llamadas has won twice over 2m since returning from over five years off the track and he should be in the mix once again along with Red Mystique, a runner-up over 1m4f on a couple of occasions last month. The remainder are harder to fancy unless the lightly-raced Pullmen proves better than he has so far shown in maiden company.
