HARDY BLOKE (7) finished second over 3200m at Nottingham at his most recent appearance on November 6. Expect him to play a major role. SCOTLAND THE BRAVE (5) started at $4.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Newcastle All Weather over 3260m. Likely improver with strong prospects. DREAMS ADOZEN (1) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing fifth over 3200m at Lingfield All Weather. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. IMMELMANN (4) is a seven-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Grant Tuer stable. Hasn't raced since finishing 12th at Tramore eight months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Not to be underestimated.
