The case for Marhaba Ghaiyyath (next best) to give Charlie Johnston and Billy Loughnane a second consecutive win in this race is decent, the step up beyond a mile appearing within compass on breeding. He's nevertheless taken on with November's course third LUISA, returning for a yard doing well with relatively few runners so far this month and likely to prove a good deal better at three than two.

Half-brother to two sprint winners for John Quinn, notably Temple/Molecomb scorer Liberty Beach; not an obvious one for 9.5f on breeding and the belated debut sounds further caution, but market may advise.
9-1, ran green on January's belated debut (C&D) until working out sufficient to let herself make some late gains inside the distance; more required as it stands, but better likely now a wiser filly.
Smarter horse from the outset when landing the odds at Lingfield in December (1m), only just holding on but in fairness having committed a good way out; no shortage of encouragement on pedigree for tonight's longer trip, and this wouldn't be any stronger a race.
Never able to break out of midfield when a 33-1 seventh on December's Chelmsford debut (1m); retains potential at 6f-1m on breeding and too early to write off, but does need to work out what's required more.
Improvement when fifth on the second of two 1m Polytrack runs for Andrew Balding last autumn, if slowly away again and hanging late; have to hope the returning hood enables her to help herself and the rider more.
Niece of Pether's Moon (Coronation Cup) who shaped on December's Chelmsford 7f fifth as in need of at least tonight's sort of trip now; uplift likely, though prospects perhaps still brighter in handicaps after.
Big step forward for the switch from turf when just over 3l third here in November (8.6f), faring best of those ridden from off the pace; best days likely still ahead of her and resumes with her yard among the winners.
