Cachao pops up every now and then as he did at Jebel Ali three weeks ago but a 9lb rise looks excessive as he's hardly consistent. California Jumbo has gone up 6lb for an impressive victory here last month and that looks much more manageable though Gervais was staying on strongly and should get closer. Speedy Move has managed to win six times, including over 6f here last month when he had ETISALAT (NAP) back in third. The latter has been staying on over that trip in most of his races this winter, however, and the longer trip is just what's required. Davy Lamp is still well handicapped despite a smooth victory at Jebel Ali last week.
