raced alone on stand side rail, hard ridden over 2f out, headed over 1f out, kept on
NABEEL makes most appeal in this. The penny looked to have dropped with Saeed Bin Suroor's charge when runner-up at Nottingham last time and Kieren Fallon takes over the reins for his handicap debut. Siouxperhero will find this tougher than the race he won at Brighton recently despite an apprentice's claim cancelling out a 5lb rise. The latter has the beating of Jonnie Skull but Windsor winner Rayoumti wasn't beaten far in a higher grade at the same track last time and could prove more of a threat.
