There’s plenty of stamina in the pedigree of CABARITA (NAP) and Ralph Beckett’s mare is taken to stay this longer trip having placed over a mile at Kempton last month. She finished in front of a subsequent winner on that occasion and can make a winning start in handicaps. Swift Justice steps up from 7f having run his best race so far here in October and has been gelded since while Barossa Red and Ivory Charm were both placed over the latter trip at Southwell on their respective penultimate outings. Al Daayen disappointed at Southwell last time but had run well for third at Newcastle earlier though Smarter may prove a bigger threat on his return to action representing the Haggas yard.
