Expert Overview

NAJEM SUHAIL (9) was a smart prospect back in South Africa. Over 800 days off the scene, so took a couple of runs to get warm again, but looked back in business at Sale last time. Stopped the clock in a hurry and looks a great chance of following up here. TAUNTING (6) had no luck at the Valley. Short of room at a key stage and unlucky not to win in the end. Great chance to make amends here and the straight 1100m looks an ideal scenario for him. DIRECT (1) took advantage at the Valley, beating Taunting, and must have claims again. PICARONES (10) comes back to 1100m from 1400m. Can run well.
