Desert Creek and Chookie Royale arrive here in terrific form while there may be more to come from the three-year-olds Dubawi Island and Icelander on the Polytrack. Prime Exhibit probably has his fair share of weight now, however, while Askaud has become disappointing and Pendragon doesn't look the force of old. Beautiful Day has never won away from Southwell while this looks a little too sharp for Follow The Flag nowadays, though he'll be staying on up the home straight. ANGELIC UPSTART was behind Prime Exhibit at Kempton two runs ago but met trouble in-running that day and is much better off at the weights now. He's also reunited with Michael Stainton for the first time since scoring over C&D in August and could be the value in this.
