SHADER (3) is yet to miss the placings in three starts, including two wins. Has not been produced since he scored over 2420m at Kempton Park All Weather on September 16. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. STRESSFREE (4) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at York over 2400m. Should be in the finish again. FAYLAQ (5) is coming off a determined win last start over 2400m at Hamilton Park two weeks ago. Significant weight drop this time so he is one of the contenders again. ALBANY (9) is back at the races for the first time since November 23. Scored over 2000m at Nottingham at the start of last prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
