ABATE (1) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Doncaster. Has a good record at this journey with six wins from 39 starts. Best form puts him right in this. KATS BOB (3) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 2 lengths win over 1200m at Southwell All Weather to make it three on the bounce. Has a strong association with William Pyle who has been in the saddle for his last three wins. Leading contender. PROFITEER (7) returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Musselburgh. Worth plenty of thought. LORD ABAMA (4) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fifth over 1200m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix.
