Won a maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last August but hasn't really backed that up. Raced far too keenly when well beaten in a Listed event at Chester last time and others look more persuasive.

A smooth winner of a 7f AW Lingfield maiden on his only juvenile start but didn't look the easiest of rides when surprisingly turned over by Indian Dandy on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in May. Could easily bounce back over this longer trip.

Promise shown in one run in Ireland before easily winning a 7f maiden at Newcastle for this yard in May. Arguably wasn't made best use of when a 2L third behind Fire Brigade on his handicap bow over 1m here (good to soft) last month and present mark looks exploitable.

Fourth on Redcar debut but put that experience to good use when winning over 1m (good to soft) next time. Bred to appreciate the longer trip on his reappearance and opening handicap mark looks workable with yard in good form.

Finally obliged at the third time of asking in a 1m maiden at Redcar (good) wearing a first-time hood. Beaten around 2L in each of his two subsequent starts in handicap company and looks vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Verdict

Across Dubai and Baashiq are lightly-raced performers whose present marks could under-estimate them but the same could be said about HUGIN who did well to finish third over 1m at Haydock on his handicap debut considering he was left poorly placed when the race began in earnest. This longer trip looks sure to suit and he gets the vote in an interesting finale.
