My Thought was having only his sixth start when getting off the mark over the trip at Thirsk last week for which he's carrying a penalty. MOTAWAAZY's victory here last month was on fast going and he very nearly staged a repeat at Beverley on Friday when caught in the closing stages over that stiff extended 7f. If he acts in today's conditions he'll take some beating. Mudawwan was beaten in a seller here last time but Desert Dream will appreciate the softer ground and can get involved. Gently Spoken ran a bit better at Yarmouth and has surprisingly been dropped 4lb.
