SHUBAAT, who won over 1m6f on the Flat, should appreciate this step up in distance after looking a bit one-paced over 2m1f at Huntingdon. He started favourite that day so had obviously been showing something at home as well. Golden Milan should improve for the switch to hurdles and has more scope than Allow Dallow, Sir Pitt and Twice Returned though the last three have every chance on the form book. Yasir was third at Market Rasen last month and consistent on the Flat so can't be ignored.
