ILARAAB is penalised for winning at Thirsk but he beat a previous winner on that occasion and breeding suggests this longer trip will suit the Haggas colt. Liberty Power finished a long way behind the selection but Spirit Dancer was beaten less than a length here back in October and Mutalahef finished runner-up over 7f at Lingfield on last year’s debut. Blue Flame is out of a winner in France and fellow newcomer Secret Account is fitted with a tongue-tie.
