Kingscombe has never managed a place on Turf so the multiple Fibresand winner should be treated with caution here, despite appearing to be well handicapped. Entihaa ran well on his reappearance over 1m4f at Newcastle but his stamina will have to be taken on trust. Newbury fourth Oetzi seems better over 1m2f but Hassle can't be ignored and this consistent sort is still fairly treated. We'll take a chance on the maiden MUSIKHANI, who gives the impression she'll stay. She hasn't raced since September but is a lot less exposed than the majority of these.
