Rakaan has been in much better form of late but today's longer trip is a worry and VIEWPOINT looks a safer option. The latter won with a bit up his sleeve at Lingfield earlier this month and Richard Hannon's charge can follow up in what looks a less competitive contest. Desert Vision beat today's rival Kay Gee Be here in October but Alan Berry's charge has since scored at Redcar. That pair are closely matched and the latter has the beating of Incendo on collateral form. Boonga Roogeta rattled up a four-timer in lesser company earlier this year and will need to improve again to figure.
