LYDIATE came up just short when sent off favourite at Ayr last time and is taken to make amends in this. Alshaqee also found one too good at Lingfield recently and is another to consider while Specialv finished just ahead of Iconic Figure with Time Again well beaten when runner-up on the Fibresand at Southwell last month, though needs more in this. Bit Of A Lad finished closer at Kempton during the week and is preferred to Hollywood Road of the others.
