A tough handicap in which several look to have decent claims. Course and distance winner Zain Eagle isn't out of this under leading apprentice Oisin Murphy but the trip may be too far for the potentially well-treated Global Village. Richard Hughes partners the light-raced Flow for Lady Cecil and Ansaab arrives off the back of a win at Pontefract. Spirit Of Law and the unexposed Safe Home aren't without a chance and Jazz Master won twice at Kempton last year and his trainer has an impressive strike rate here. ARAB SPRING easily won a maiden at Kempton last month having chased home Elkaayed on his only start as a three-year-old. The latter ended up in Group 3 races last year so Sir Michael Stoute's charge could be well treated in this off a mark of 85.
