Verdict
Alakhan bids for a hat-trick but is taking on higher rated opposition than he beat at this track last month. Complexity has been hurdling without success and is dropped in class for his return to the Flat and Sam Nombulist also competes at this level for the first time as he makes his all-weather debut. TABAAYUN is up against tougher rivals than he faced at Lingfield last Saturday, but he won by over three lengths on that occasion and David O'Meara's charge should go very close again.
