NOBLE CHAMPION (5) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1400m at Newbury when fresh from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. The one to beat in this line up. HAWKSBILL (4) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Kempton Park All Weather. Well placed and should be tough to beat. SECRET THEORY (1) is a promising galloper who kept his unbeaten record intact last start when resuming over 1680m at Nottingham, making it two victories. Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. AL ARBEED (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1400m at Newmarket (Rowley), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Must be respected.
