LONGLAI ended a barren spell on his debut for Michael Wigham’s yard. He beat the re-opposing Spinaround by only a neck at Kempton but remains on a winning mark and is taken to confirm running. The latter should be in the mix once again while Arthur's Realm has a shout on last year’s best form and Hafeet Alain has slipped back down the weights. Tahitian Prince and Warning Sign should both be sharper for recent comeback runs.
