LIR SPECIALE (10) won his sole outing at this venue to date. He didn't always look well-positioned when a disappointing fifth at Newcastle twenty seven days ago however did go well on soft ground when narrowly denied at Yarmouth earlier in the season. Trained by Brian Ellison and dangerously well-treated on peak efforts. Selected to come out on top. WOBWOBWOB (1) may provide a bold showing and defy top weight following an excellent second over 6f at Ayr recently. GOLDEN PHARAOH (12) won by 5L in testing conditions at Ffos Las (7½f) last month and can remain competitive with ground to suit once more. RIOT (4) rounds out the shortlist.
