Cardsharp made all to win easily at Brighton 10 days ago and is penalised 6lb today. HADDAF may take advantage given he just missed out when beaten a neck at Leicester on his racecourse debut and should go close again for James Tate’s in-form yard with normal progress. Jellmood is another to consider having shown ability when third at Doncaster while the Godolphin newcomer Aqabah was purchased for $550,000 in March and is preferred to Zabaletaswansong and Carouse.
