FRIENDS OF SHAJING (2) gets the nod after a much sharper third at this track, beaten a neck by Brownneedsfurther when wide and still closing strongly. He is third-up, was respected in an open market and has the recent form edge to turn that narrow defeat around. BROWNNEEDSFURTHER (1) is the obvious threat after winning by a nose first-up, backing up his earlier victory over Loving Vibes and maintaining an excellent track-and-distance profile. VICTOR THE RAPID (7) was only beaten three and a half lengths first-up after having to switch for clear running, and his established 1200m record at this venue keeps him right in the contest. DAN ATTACK (6) brings the most dependable placing profile, with successive seconds at this track and a strong record with Harry Bentley, so another honest showing looks likely if he gets clear running at the right time.
