Budva won tidily at Southwell last time and remains well-treated under a penalty, but Hughie Morrison's gelding has to translate that to turf and we're prepared to take him on with ALBEED. John Dunlop's filly is a half-sister to the stable's smart stayer Akmal and showed that stamina is very much her strong point too when storming home for second last time. A further two furlongs will aide her cause and she looks to be going the right way. Dubawi King is only a couple of pounds higher than when winning at Hamilton and this intermediate trip should serve him better than two miles did last time so he's a factor along with Jennerous Blue who improved for cheek-pieces on her latest start, while support for stepping-up-in-trip Namehim would be interesting.
