Attain makes most appeal of those with experience after his second at Lingfield last month, though the likes of Legendary, Navaho Spirit and Devote Myself all showed enough last time to suggest they won't be long in winning. However, a couple of newcomers take the eye as Dropzone is related to a winner on the all-weather and is worth monitoring in the betting, but a chance is taken on STAR FOR LIFE. He's related to a host of winners in America, not least the high-class Star Parade, and Mikael Magnusson has introduced some useful sorts on the all-weather over the years including Spring Of Fame, who now races in Godolphin's colours.
