Waabel remains on a winning mark despite a penalty for last week's C&D victory. Another bold bid is expected from him, but LAST SOVEREIGN also bounced back to form at Kempton last time. He wasn't for the catching once taking the lead and can follow-up if producing a similar effort. Greenhead High usually runs his race and counted Perlachy among his victims over 5f here last month, while Mata Hari Blue is not without a chance on her return to action as she went very close at Kempton at this time last year.
