Cabinet can take this at the principal expense of Rio Riva and Maslak. Sir Michael Stoute's charge has been the subject of glowing reports from the gallops and if he is able to produce the goods first time out, he could be in off a handy mark. Rio Riva is stepped up in trip. He has ran creditably on a couple of starts this term but the handicapper isn't making life easy. Maslak is in good nick at present. He has shown a degree of ability on the turf although this looks a hot race. Heaven Knows has to bounce back from a disappointing run at Pontefract. Night Crescendo has won first time up in the past so is one to note in the market. Tears Of A Clown has had training troubles but when raced, he looks to have a touch of class about him. Longspur is related to soft ground performers while easy Doncaster winner, Best Prospect, is sure to be popular. Cabinet looks one to bear in mind for a decent future and he is our selection here.
