QAABIL (6) may get off the mark at the first time of asking racing for new connections. Finished a decent third over 1m at Dundalk last month and could be in contention off this mark. The market will help guide as to the readiness of RAFFLES REBEL (5) after nine months off but he cannot be dismissed on first outing since a good second tackling 1 ½m at Southwell. EXPLORERS WAY (1) scored attempting 1m here two starts ago and might bounce back. CLOTHERHOLME (9) makes for place appeal.
