Angelo Poliziano has won his last two starts over 5f at this track and Above The Stars has also been in decent form over the minimum trip of late. The latter makes more appeal over this extra furlong but it could be HAADEETH's turn today. David Evan's charge went close in a tougher race at Folkestone in September and will be better for his recent return to action at Lingfield. Desert Strike and Sir Nod are other C&D winners back on a winning mark if rediscovering their best.
