Hab Reeh has already had three starts since the turn of the year but is holding his form and was only beaten a neck by M J Woodward over course and distance last week, though has rather harshly been raised 5lb since and is far from certain to confirm that form with third Miserere Mei. Veterans Yungaburra and Divertimenti could also figure but this could be RIGHTCAR's chance to shine. He is now 6lb lower than when successful at Kempton a year ago and didn't run at all badly at that track 12 days ago when given plenty to do. Duke Of Rainford has disappointed on the whole but again attracted market interest at Kempton in November and this is an equally modest heat.
