Hawaafez is going to be all the rage and may well oblige but it's pretty early in the season to take on your elders and there may be better value elsewhere. In contrast to the Tregoning charge, ANTIGUA SUNRISE has little to hide and is fully exposed, but she's a tough and resolute character, her yard is in fine form as usual and George Chaloner takes off a handy 7lb. She should give a good account in attempting to gain back-to-back wins in this competitive affair. Dubai Bounty looks a potential improver but hasn't been seen since August and a bigger threat looms in the shape of Fun Affair, sure to appreciate the return to handicap company. Sea Of Galilee should also be kept on the right side.
