Locum went close over C&D before his latest fourth here over a shorter trip and Kieren Fallon takes over the reins. However, SPAHI finished in front of him last time and makes more appeal today as he was runner-up over track and trip to the progressive Sky High Diver before that. David O'Meara's charge is also fancied to confirm running with Marina Ballerina, despite the latter re-opposing on better terms. Magic Millie produced a better effort when third here last time and Miereveld could prove the pick of the remainder.
