PARTISAN HERO (3) built on a nice third two starts back at Wolverhampton with a win as public elect over 1600m at Kempton Park All Weather six weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. FINN RUSSELL (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1900m at Wolverhampton, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SHALADAR (4) lines up for the first time since October 30. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1700m at Beverley. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Sure to make his presence felt. YAAJOOZ (2) is back from a eight months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1600m at Thirsk at the start of last prep. Sound prospects.
