Rated 91, NATIONAL SECURITY looks the one to beat in a first-time tongue-tie. He was third behind a winner rated 96 at Navan on his latest start and should have the measure of these on that form. Far Reach has plenty to find with the selection on latest running but stablemate National Wealth may prove a hreat and Fridtjof Nansen is another to consider as he steps up in distance. Kisanga should also improve for today’s longer trip with Persian Lion perhaps best of the rest.
