COMPANY KEEPING (8) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.25 lengths over 1400m at Dusseldorf as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from 10 runs. Big chance once again. TRACK RECORD (2) was well fancied when resuming but found one better at Dortmund, finishing 1.3 lengths adrift at the end of 1200m. Will appreciate the extra ground. Sure to run well. WINTERWEIDE (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at Dortmund, beaten 1.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. GOLDEN PASSPORT (1) last appeared when he finished fourth over 1200m at Dortmund on January 5. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
