Several course specialist line-up here but NAFA looks the one to be on, despite an unpromising starting berth. Successful over track and trip last month when Slatey Hen finished out of the places, he had Spic 'n Span and Russian Bullet behind when fourth at Bath last week and is better off at the weights with both. Chateau Lola hasn't been running badly this spring and also goes on the short-list but Lesley's Choice is badly out of sorts and Ches Jicaro looks held on collateral form.
