A useful handicap. MARHABA GHAIYYATH's runner-up efforts at a couple of the big meetings last summer represent strong form and, with an outing his belt, he's taken to recapture that level and prove too strong for the reappearing Insanity. Have Secret is next on the list.

About The Selections
Dave Nevison
Marhaba Ghaiyyath He has legitimate excuses on his recent unplaced runs and, if he comes on for his reappearance effort, he can land this before he moves on to bigger things
Katie Midwinter
Flying Frontier On his last winning mark of 95, he makes appeal back on a sounder surface and is capable of showing further improvement
Katie Midwinter
Sunriseontheboyne Now on a lower mark of 81, just 5lb higher than when recording his latest success in comfortable fashion at Listowel, he could be well-handicapped on last season's form and has an each-way chance

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Have Secret should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Savvy Victory are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Marhaba Ghaiyyath traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts: Savvy Victory traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
