It's more than two years since Engai last ran on the level. Surround Sound is better over shorter and Tamayuz Magic steps up in trip but Amazing Blue Sky is only a pound higher than when winning at Thirsk in June. Serene Brotherton has won on him in the past but it's possibly a little late in the year for Ruth Carr's charge. Harry Bannister steered THINK to a maiden victory over a mile here last month. Only a couple of pounds higher, it's worth sticking with Clive Mulhall's charge.
