NEGIN couldn't catch the progressive Stellar Express in better company at Nottingham last time but finished a creditable second and is worth a bet here to open her account. Dynamic Duo has claims on his reappearance third at Kempton, but Gabrial's Gift has given the impression he's at his best on the Polytrack so recent Windsor third Gold Sceptre makes more appeal. Brimstone Hill could figure on his win at Doncaster in October and Afnoon should have come on for last month's return to action over C&D when four lengths behind Burke's Rock. Cutting It Fine and Widyaan look best of the rest.
