Tavener is related to winners over longer trips and has no easy task on his debut. But all three rivals have a shout though recent course and distance runner-up Kyrenia Castle has a bit to find with the remaining pair on today's terms. Rahmah has gone close on several occasions over longer distances but SECRET GLANCE made the frame over track and trip last time despite a tardy start. Ed McMahon's colt gets the nod if making his more usual quick break from the stalls.
