FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LINUS LARRABEE won from a career low mark over course and distance seven days ago but might be able to defy his 7lbs hike and win from top weight. Given an initial 74 rating, that fell to 61 when winning here recently and while going back up the rating is an obvious concern, he has at least been running consistently well recently and stepping up to this 7f trip seems to suit and being a 3yo is open to a little more progression. Five-time winner Foreign Legion is a capable type at this level and while he won on heavy ground in September, is a four-time all-weather winner who should go well from his mark. Sunset Nova has won just once from 33 runs but is largely a consistent performer who can place today while Raffaello disappointed on his latest run but had previously shown form at this venue.
