Najaaba is returning from a short break and is given the nomination here with La Puce and Givemethemoonlight the others for the shortlist. The selection won five on the bounce before finishing down the field behind Tight Squeeze at Lingfield. Although he has risen in the weights during his winning streak, he will have benefitted from his break and should be capable of scoring here. La Puce is a course and distance winner and looks the main danger, although she had to work hard when defeating Active Account on this track last week. She will not be far away at the finish but is likely to find one too good. Givemethemoonlight finished behind La Puce on that day and will find it difficult to turn the tables here, while Estimation can not be ruled out on the pick of his form, but Najaaba should be better after a short break and looks the one to beat.
