TIJAN looks nothing special on breeding but this is a poor maiden and Saeed Bin Suroor's gelding may well be good enough to make a winning start. Most of the others have a handicap rating with Carlisle runner-up Asha coming out best of those ahead of Another Royal, placed over track and trip the last twice. Clabare finished second at Ayr recently but has plenty to find on today's terms and the less-exposed Advance is more interesting.
