MEADRAM (4) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2000m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. CRAFTER (5) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 2000m at Lingfield All Weather. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. EGOISTE (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 2000m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after he worked home in good style. That followed a win at Kempton Park All Weather the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. ALAZWAR (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 14/10/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1600m at Musselburgh. Has to be respected.
