REQUIEM (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 2340m at Haydock Park after being prominent at the bend. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. CAPTAIN BRETT (5) was thereabouts last time out when second at Kempton Park All Weather over 2420m, beaten a head. Should be at his peak now. Hasn't been far away this time in work with two minor placings from three starts. Sure to go very well. MAX THE TIGER (6) finished second last start over 2420m at Beverley when he did his best work late, beaten 1.75 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. ROMMIE THE MIRACLE (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2420m at Beverley. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
