Godolphin's Tahaamah reappears after a lay-off but his stable have a comparatively poor record at this track and he was beaten off a lower mark at Pontefract in October. Preference, therefore, is for the penalised SIM SALA BIM who is on the upgrade and ran out a decisive winner over this trip at Windsor 11 days ago despite missing the break. Another For Joe looks to have plenty of weight on his handicap debut but Calaf has to be respected after running Set To Music to a short-head on similar ground at Doncaster earlier this month. Bussa won at Salisbury last month and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of the disappointing Barnum.
