Purple Affair disappointed when favourite at Kempton while Athletic may need this but Emman Bee is starting to knock on the door, as is Stag Hill. Hill Of Dreams looks to be heading in the right direction and Arabian Flight won a claimer here earlier in the month, though may struggle to get home over this extra furlong. MASTERS BLAZING ran his best race so far when third at Kempton at the start of the month and should again beat fifth Song Of Joy. A visor should aid his cause here and John Ryan's colt can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking.
