Tajneed comes out best at the weights and won a handicap in soft ground at Newcastle in October. A repeat should see the veteran go close in this company, but another old-timer in BECKERMET is just preferred. Ruth Carr's charge won twice at the track last term, including this contest, and may yet have another win in him for a yard in fine form. Kylladdie hasn't won on Turf since 2010 while Captain Royale is better over the minimum trip nowadays. The remainder are even harder to fancy on today's terms.
