LAMBOURN (4) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 2000m at Leopardstown. Is rarely far away and has amassed two wins from his appearances. Will prove tough to stop. SQUARE D'ALBONI (7) resumes today after closing off last preparation with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1800m at Chantilly on October 26. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. PINHOLE (6) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last five months ago when he scored over 1600m at Southwell All Weather. A bold showing is expected. CONVERGENT (1) is a promising galloper who kept his unbeaten record intact last start when resuming over 2000m at Redcar, making it two victories. Effortless win last start and sure to be in the finish again.
