Law and Order is of some interest, having been campaigned at a higher level, but he looks out of sorts at the moment while Auberge Du Lac has been a disappointment in handicaps so far. Naseem may have needed the run when finishing fourth at Sandown in April, and the drop back to a mile is likely to help. But it is a concern that he hasn’t been seen for two months so preference is for TO DIBBA, who won his maiden well from the front and who should be suited by the extra furlong on his handicap debut. The consistent Fire Brigade remains in good heart and can make the frame.
