Most interesting in this will centre around the lightly-raced William Haggas runner Al Tarmaah but he had to drop back to 6f to get off the mark at Redcar in September and might just lack a little race-fitness compared to a couple who have already won on the all-weather this year. CHOOKIE DUNEDIN (NAP) has been in excellent form back on Turf since a successful winter campaign and he looks well berthed in stall three. Saisons D'Or has won twice at Newcastle since the turn of the year and has won three times on this surface so can’t be ignored but Lammas is having a first try on Turf. Trinity Lake was runner-up to an in-form rival at Leicester on his return to action and has place claims again.
