RAAEIDD and Nbhan are the two that take the eye in this contest with Tiger Flash also worthy of consideration. Raaeidd was sent off at a relatively short price in a competitive race at York on his reappearance and ran with credit to finish just three quarters of a length behind Barwell Bridge. He's been a shade fortunate to get away with a 2lb rise for that success and can take advantage of the handicapper's leniency. Nbhan appeared in need of the run over course and distance last month so there were plenty of positives to be taken from the performance. He may well prove better than his current mark and is to be feared. Tiger Flash disappointed in a Leicester maiden where he raced too keenly but he's been given plenty of time and is another that is potentially well treated. He is another of keen interest. Senses benefited from a fine ride to win a maiden here but will need to take a further step forwards to score on his handicap bow whilst Equipe De Nuit and Statute Book have become disappointing. An intriguing heat where we prefer Raaeidd.
