Wiley Post will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long but several of these drop down in class including SHAMSON. The latter placed over track and trip on a couple of occasions before winning at Lingfield last month while Newyorkstateofmind gets a change of headgear though has yet to win on Turf and Minhaaj is preferred in this lower grade. Aish won here back in April and makes more appeal than It Must Be Faith of the remaining pair.
