LIEN HYPHEN (2) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1m at Northam. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SABINO (4) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at Northam three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Comes down a level this time. Best form puts him right in this. SHAOLIN TEMPLE (8) turned in an eye-catching run over 1m1 1/2f at York last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Will be running on late again. ASARKA (6) was beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth over 1m1 1/2f at York at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
