NOBLE VICTORY (2) caught the eye when a staying-on runner-up at Southwell making debut. The James Tate trained colt will know more following that initial experience and looks sure to relish the extra 1f. MASSIMO BLUE (3) shaped as though dropping back to 11f would be a major positive when third over 7f here in January. Rates the main threat. STAR ZIA (5) kept on nicely to finish second tackling this trip at Southwell four weeks ago. Can go close if taking another step in the right direction. UP THE MONK (4) might be worth noting if strong in the betting debuting.
