There are some stamina queries over this new trip but TATMEEN was doing all his best work late when runner-up over a mile on his handicap debut at Lingfield and there are 1m4f winners in the family. Sneaky Blinder goes well here and last week's Bath race wasn't run to suit. Marinakis is preferred of the others.[Alistair Jones]

Group class for Aidan O'Brien but those days have long gone and he's 2-30 overall; however, it was a good run with the blinkers back on at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and that trip was on the short side for one with form over 1m6f.
First four races were here and offered little on handicap debut over 1m3f; however, raised her game on turf debut at Yarmouth (extended 1m3f, soft) when emerging from well off the pace to finish second; now has to transfer that back to the AW and she's been off since October.
Didn't go unbacked when showing improvement on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, AW) where he responded well for early pressure to chase home an in-form favourite; this is a big hike in distance but there are 1m4f winners in the family.
Won a maiden hurdle earlier this year and was a respectable third at Bath in April (1m6f, good to firm); has to bounce back from a below-par run over hurdles but this C&D winner is not dismissed.
