QIRAT (6) is back at the races for the first time since October 30. Scored over 1400m at Goodwood at the start of last prep. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. ROI DE FRANCE (2) has found the frame at both starts this prep, the latest when second over 1600m at Newcastle All Weather. Strips fitter so a top-three finish is on the cards. MYAL (11) scored by half a length last start at Haydock Park over this distance after he was in contention on the corner. Has a very strong record at this journey, scoring on five occasions from six starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Capable of testing this field. GLENEAGLE BAY (12) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Curragh, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1600m. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
