Mishrif has been running well over a mile here and the drop back in trip won't be too much of an inconvenience. But SOFIAS NUMBER ONE finally showed signs of a return to form when runner-up over track and trip last week and is taken to notch up his seventh course victory. Imaginary World wasn't far behind the selection last time and can also figure while the inconsistent Tartan Trip could get involved if the mood takes him. Loud is another to note experiencing the Fibresand for the first time after three unsuccessful attempts at Kempton.
