A chance is taken on KIBAAR returning to form in a first time visor in this competitive small field event. The selection represents the in-form yard of Kevin Ryan who have a 23% strike-rate (14/60) in recent weeks and he can take this off a mark 10lb lower than for his most recent victory. Arzaak has been running well of late, most recently when second at Bath and with trip and ground to suit he can claim second ahead of Discreet Hero who ran well on his first outing since being gelded last time out.
