Verdict
It will be very difficult to get a good position from a high draw in this which counts against recent winners Miami Gator, Polish World and You've Been Mowed. Koo And The Gang is possibly in the handicapper's grip now while, among those drawn low, Moheebb and Diescentric have rather lost their way and the potentially well-treated Cara's Request has been well below-par this term. EXTRATERRESTRIAL gave the impression the return to a mile would suit when a staying-on third over 7f at Newcastle three weeks ago and Richard Fahey's seven-year-old shouldn't be far away here granted the run of the race. Prince Of Dance and Amethyst Dawn are others to consider in an open contest.
