Rawaabet may be able to record a second career success on the level but support for Tribiani would make her of interest. The selection won a maiden here in 2005 on his fourth start but has generally struggled to hit the target on the Flat in subsequent attempts. However, his mark has plummeted as a result and he produced one of his better efforts when a never nearer fourth at Kempton in January. He showed enough on that occasion to suggest that a race of this nature may be within his scope. Keon is fairly consistent but hasn't proved easy to win with and Bert's Memory and Tribiani are of more interest. The former is on a decent mark and is partnered by Neil Callan on his debut for John Mackie, the market should point the way to his chances and those of Tribiani. Tribiani hasn't shown a great deal on three starts since arriving from Ireland but is unexposed and from an in-form yard. However, at this stage, Rawaabet gets our vote.
