MANDANA (5) has returned in good order this preparation. Won her maiden first-up over 1600m at Lingfield All Weather then finished second over 1400m at Brighton last time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. TWO B TANNED (3) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1810m at Musselburgh last start to make it three straight. Huge chance again. NAKAAHA (6) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Thirsk, beaten 6 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HACKNEY DIAMONDS (4) last appeared when she finished third over 1200m at Newbury on October 26. Has switched to the Ian Williams stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
