Sanibel Island's best runs have come on quicker ground than he'll face here and race conditions aren't in his favour. Important Moment did well between the flags and was impressive on his hurdling debut at Perth last summer, though the runner-up has let the form down. YAHA FIZZ made all here and at Navan and appeared to improve significantly last time. He should be capable of further progress and gets the vote as the four-year-old Bobabout may struggle to keep pace at this level. Fit To Be Tied ran very well on just his second start here last time and should improve but Aretesone will need to find a bit more after just one victory in 11 starts.
