Narjes has won two of her last three outings over track and trip and looks sure to be in the mix once again. She narrowly beat Rakematiz on her latest start with Makambe back in fourth and the former had earlier fallen victim to HACKBRIDGE. The latter found his way blocked on numerous occasions over 1m4f here last time but had earlier completed a course and distance double and Pat Phelan’s charge should make a bold bid with normal luck in-running. Hidden Depths has been thereabouts over 1m4f recently and is preferred to the likes of Tobacco Road and Bayston Hill.
