Formscan - Seven Fires made all to land a maiden race over 6f here last month, while Early Release also made every yard when successful at Kempton recently. It's plausible that pair could take each other on for the lead and that could play into the hands of the in-form SHALAA ASKER. The latter landed a brace on the Tapeta at the start of the year and can race off the same mark as when narrowly beaten over C&D on Tuesday.
