This is likely to be fast and furious and it could be teed-up nicely for ALABLAQ, who failed by a whisker at Wolverhampton last weekend and he's on the same mark as for his C&D breakthrough success in January. Nubough performed with credit in a higher-grade handicap at Kempton last time and may emerge as the main danger. Soyounique also merits consideration.
