NOBLE GIFT is the only three-year-old in the line-up and is taken to beat his elders. He won three of his first five races and should really have made it four when suffering all sorts of problems in-running behind Broughton here last time and can make amends. Albaqaa carries a penalty for a comfortable victory at Leicester on Tuesday but should get involved along with Sir Mike, who has been running really well and deserved his victory at Sandown a couple of weeks ago for which he's been raised 7lb. Croquembouche has hit a rich seam of form on fast ground but is now on his highest ever mark and Ree's Rascal, who is also in good heart, was well beaten in this a year ago after attracting good support.
