Verdict
MOJAZAFFAH is the only one of these to have raced over this far. She finished well beaten at Wetherby but found her way blocked on more than one occasion and is expected to finish much closer today. Appreciate ran well for fourth over 7f at Newmarket on last year’s debut while First Connection placed over a mile at Yarmouth last month. Wolverhampton fourth Murau will relish the longer trip while the newcomer Tipsy Laird is a half-brother to middle-distance winners.
