That form gives him strong claims here and although today's slightly shorter trip might not be ideal, the stiff nature of this track should play into his strengths. Paddyplex is unbeaten since being sent onto the Flat and he certainly deserves a crack at this decent prize, while Crowned Eagle ran well recently and cannot be ruled out.

Chestnut Fire landed minor money off this mark at Kempton last time and has place claims once again off an unchanged rating. Inaam steps back up in trip after being outpaced over 7f at Wolverhampton latest and could also take a hand. Top Tip: THELLO (7) Watch out for: CHESTNUT FIRE (2)

Both must be respected, though, along with Dragon Mall, who is very talented on his day. However, TWIN APPEAL looks a handicapper on the upgrade having maintained his upturn in form when winning cosily at Wolverhampton and he should have plenty more to offer.

The sevenyearold finished a neck in front of Caspian Prince in a Listed race in November and he meets that rival on the same terms today. Gracious John has been in great form of late and merits a place on the shortlist, while Blue De Vega remains unexposed as a sprinter. Final Venture may be using this race as prep for a trip to Dubai, while Atletico is unbeaten in two starts on the Tapeta. Top Tip: INTISAAB (7) Watch out for: CASPIAN PRINCE (1)

His biggest danger may come from fellow newcomer Completion, who could be suited to the Tapeta challenge he encounters based on his sire's Group 1winning exploits on dirt. Naval Officer may be best of those to already have experienced a racecourse, while it will be no surprise if John Gosden was able to find improvement from Daltrey.

Stuart Williams' sevenyearold has struggled to get into his races at Lingfield and Wolverhampton the last twice but this straight 5f may suit him better. Fast Track is only 1lb higher than when finishing a neck second over this trip at Wolverhampton last month and makes most appeal on the remainder.

He has thrived here of late and should be capable of holding off Shades Of Mist, who scored well on his debut for Tony Coyle last month, while a visor can potentially see Magic Mark make his presence felt.
