Verdict
Red Bond went close over a shorter trip here recently while Siavash finished in front of Goddess Of Fire when also scoring over the extended mile last month. Harlow and Plymouth Rock are other recent winners over shorter distances but DAHEER (NAP) moves in the opposite direction having failed to see out 1m4f here last time. He landed a course and distance double before that and Mark Loughnane’s charge gets another chance on that earlier form. Finoah won a seller in October while Snow Ocean landed a hat-trick on Turf earlier in the year and is fitted with a tongue-tie for this.
