Van Dyke has only found one too good in a couple of starts at Kempton and will be fancied to get off the mark here. Every Chance has also been thereabouts in his two runs to date but Regal Monarch has only raced on Fibresand so far so it remains to be seen if he takes to this surface. GUY FAWKES ran a lot better than the result indicates on his debut at Lingfield as he completely missed the break and the effort of getting back in touch with the leaders took its toll in the closing stages. He'll know a lot more today and this stiffer test should be right up his street. The Aqlaam colt Sabaani could be one to note if attracting market support.
