This is virtually a repeat of last week's handicap over the track and trip won by Ttoto Skyllachy from Bling King, Shadowtime and Lady Macduff. The winner scored in convincing fashion and will make a bold bid to defy his penalty though there are others with chances in an open race. Fort Belvedere, a winner over 1m2f at Longchamp in 2011, made his debut for new connections over 1m4f at Ripon last month and led for a long way. CARAZAM has returned from Hong Kong and has scored twice including a Sandown handicap last month. He's been raised 5lb but was on a very much higher mark than this when trained in Ireland and looks set to score again. Mujaadel has eight career victories to his credit, all over 7f, including here last week.
