Nico De Boinville won on Turjuman over course and distance in February and the eight-year-old is only a pound higher today, though has shown nothing lately. POLITBUREAU looks the safest option under Serena Brotherton as he might just have needed his comeback run at Newcastle and will appreciate the return to 1m4f. Cherry Tree Hill may be better than he's shown so far and El Bravo has each-way claims but the others are harder to fancy.
