Silver Rime and Sammy Jo Bell teamed up to win this last year off a higher mark and can figure again while Dianne Sayer won both earlier renewals so Ronaldinho is worth noting back on the level. Janaab scored at Haydock last month but third-placed Day Of The Eagle may well reverse running on this softer ground. Gambino would prefer faster going but MUJAZIF is at home on the surface and, dropping down a couple of grades for this, David Nicholls' charge may well be good enough.
