GLENAMOY LAD showed further progress when landing a similar sprint at Newcastle last time. That was only his third start of the year and there should be more to come from Michael Wigham's charge. El Hombre was beaten less than a length at Newcastle recently and is another to consider racing off a similar mark while Reflektor has a shout if at his best on his return to action and is preferred to stablemate Mickey. Mayyasah's recent placed efforts came over 7f at Kempton but Desert Doctor won off a higher mark here early in the year.
