BESTWECAN showed enough on his debut over C&D to suggest he can win one of these contests. He took up the running a long way from home on that occasion, but battled on well to keep third place once passed and will have come on for the experience. Echos Of Motivator ran his best race so far when runner-up over 1m2f here last time and this longer trip should suit, but Not So Bright looks likely to find a couple too good once again. Dubai Glory looks flattered by her handicap mark and Twilight Express has shown nothing in a couple of starts so far.
