(9) PARABELLUM acquitted himself well in two introductory sprints. On pedigree, this extended trip should be more to his liking.
(4) CHABAL and (7) FIZZLY BUBBLY fit a similar profile and will be competitive if improving for this step-up in trip.
(5) GIFT OF ROYAL ran a career-best third over 1,500m in November. Can make his presence felt.
(1) CITY LIGHTS is overdue for a maiden win. She has proven costly to follow and is vulnerable to less-exposed younger rivals.
(6) INSTANT ATTRACTION is closely matched on the form of a recent 2,000m meeting and is worse off at the weights. She has more scope for improvement.
(5) GREAT NOTION need not improve much on her recent second to go one better.
(4) TODOQUE appeals most of the remainder.
(1) STREWN SKY and (2) KUDZU are lightly raced 4YOs with the form to play leading roles. Preference is for the top-weight who jumps from gate 1 with the blinkers kept on, while his stablemate jumps from the widest gate.
