Strabinios King has not been done any favours by the draw here so we will take on Michael Wigham's 4-year-old and side with Scuba to get the better of Kingsmaite. Strabinios King did win here last time but he was all-out to beat Gilded Cove and it will take a big effort from him to follow-up from stall 12. Scuba has got a good draw in stall 2 and he went close when he chased home Welcome Releaf at Southwell last time. Kingsmaite won last time out but he benefited from a good draw that day and it was not a strong race. He looks vulnerable today with a 6lbs penalty. Mafaheem has been knocking on the door in claimers of late so he has more on his plate here, and we will stick with Scuba to land the spoils.
