Ebn Reem should be capable of bouncing back to beat Luscivious and Non Compliant. Ebn Reem will have hated the fast ground he encountered at Ripon so it was a huge surprise to see punters falling over themselves to back him at evens. He stays further than this trip, has a good engine and has to be the one that they all have to beat. Luscivious has form with cut in the ground but the jury is out in relation to his ability over this trip and the percentage call is to oppose. Non Compliant is noted as a particularly strong finisher but he will need to reverse recent Lingfield form with Golden Desert to score. Cheap Street was a moneyspinner for connections last term but it remains to be seen as to whether he has trained on. Lovelace is the least experienced while Longquan makes his first appearance since finishing midfield in the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar. Ebn Reem looks the class act in this race and we seek not to oppose.
