The form of AL TARFA's second-placed efforts behind Belo Horizonte still appeals as strong for this grade and he was left with far too much to do at Chelmsford last time, so William Knight's gelding is fancied to confirm his previous promise here. Cusack has remained in good form since winning here last month and rates as a player, as does Loom Large, who was seen to good effect when scoring over further here earlier in the month but remains on a potentially-lenient mark.
