RAFEEJ is likely to prove a warm order. Mark Johnston's colt finished a close-up fourth to Mince in a higher-grade sprint at Newmarket last time and, with further progress on the cards, he could turn out the one to beat. Chester winner All Or Nothin and Southwell scorer Orders From Rome have more to do in this company but Springinmystep was third in a similar event over C&D in April and could figure. Half A Billion arrives in good form but Chooseday makes more appeal as he's overdue another win and ran well at Ripon last week.
