TABARRAK (NAP) won a Listed race over 7f at Haydock earlier in the year and landed a conditions race at Lingfield three weeks ago. He should make another bold bid on these terms and is preferred to Emmaus. The latter has also won in Listed company but on heavy going and today’s ground may not prove ideal while Nebo is another who would prefer some cut. Muntadab could go well arriving on the back of winning a handicap at Newmarket and Raid came up short dropped to 6f last time but should do better back over today’s distance. Dance Diva won a Listed fillies race at Carlisle during the summer and makes most appeal of her yard’s three runners with Paul Hanagan on board.
