Mustaqbal is back on a career-high mark but is a course and distance winner and won on heavy going at Carlisle last week. He’ll thrive in the conditions and shouldn’t be far away again but GWORN and Dark Crystal are course specialists and the former is looking particularly well treated nowadays. He stays further than this and that stamina will be an asset on today’s ground. Visitant is another likely to be staying on in the closing stages but he has no form on going this soft. Newstead Abbey is back on a winning mark but has done most of his racing over shorter distances. Also at the bottom of the handicap, Zoravan has each-way claims again along with Tagur.
