PROCLAIMER (NAP) underwent wind surgery last summer and has won seven of nine subsequent outings. He wasn’t unduly troubled when scoring at Kempton last week and still looks ahead of the handicapper. Karibana has shown no improvement for adopting front-running tactics but Totally Charming makes more appeal off his current mark. Mobashr was progressive last year and On A Session placed in a tougher contest at Kempton last time while Dingle is preferred to Lequinto of the rest.
