Global Thrill had stablemate Nabhan behind when winning a better race than this here last month. He’s only gone up 3lb so must have a good chance of a follow-up. Iniesta is consistent at a modest level but an infrequent winner. TAMARILLO GROVE is something of a standing dish here, especially on this sort of surface. He ran respectably on a much stiffer track last time and looks poised to strike again. Admiral Kid has been disappointing over hurdles and Druid's Folly is on a long losing run and starting to creep up the weights again.
