Briefcase has shown more than enough to suggest he can win a race of this nature but he's become expensive to follow and hasn't raced since November. Dream Again Boys got off the mark at Lingfield last week and has every chance of staying this longer trip on breeding but we'll take him on with Ffos Las specialist AL SHABABIYA. Alison Thorpe's mare doesn't handle heavy ground but is a consistent sort on better going and her latest second to Cross The Flags looks the best form on offer. Zagova is unexposed and may be best of the rest.
