Peadar Miguel has been frustrating since scoring at Kempton a year ago but bounced back to form over the C&D last week when beating Shared Moment with today's rival Ilie Nastase just behind. That pair look certain to get involved again and eighth-placed Aflaam appears well held but the veteran CHIEF EXEC looked a very unfortunate loser here last time when getting no sort of run and can return to winning ways from his favourable mark. Indian Violet has been racing over further but likes it around here and his latest success was gained over the C&D in December.
