Dasheen makes his handicap debut having gone close in a maiden race when favourite at Haydock. He should be in the mix along with Executor, a rare runner at the track for Roger Charlton having his first start since April. THAQAFFA was sent off favourite over 7f at Goodwood last time but failed to run his race. He had gone close over 1m1f at the same track before that and gets another chance on that form. Taking Libertys drops down a grade, Albert Boy would prefer soft ground while Sayedaati Saadati has yet to threaten but is handicapping for the first time today.
