EXPECTO (9) is an imported four-year-old having his first run in this area for the Grace Harris barn. Finished in the placings over 1600m at Limerick at the last run before a spell. Not seen at the trials but she can make an immediate impact. KING OF SPEED (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 2.25 lengths when fifth over 1740m at Wolverhampton two-and-a-half weeks ago. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. SOI DAO (6) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1900m at Wolverhampton after she was prominent at the corner. Cherry-ripe now and will be tough to beat. JOHNJAY (7) finished tenth over 2000m at Lingfield All Weather at his most recent appearance on November 21. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
