Attain is only moderate but has managed to win nine races and likes it around here. He just got outpaced over 1m4f last time and is better over this trip so has to be of interest. Pink Ribbon arrives in very good form having been just touched off here before scoring over slightly shorter at Wolverhampton where he stayed on strongly. He should get into the action but INGLEBY SPRING may be good enough. Richard Fahey's mare was having her first ever all-weather start when runner-up in an amateurs' event at Southwell and she won over the trip at Redcar in October. Luxford looked one to follow when scoring at Chelmsford but ran a shocker there last time and though Squire is 8lb lower than his victory at Kempton a year ago he's another badly out of form.
