Skytrain has won six times in his career, all over this trip. He's up 3lb for his latest victory at Newmarket but was behind BLUEGRASS BLUES there earlier and, as Paul Cole's grey has only been raised 2lb, he looks the one to beat. Al Mukhdam ran a shocker over a mile on fast ground at Ascot but his form on softer going is much stronger and he can bounce back with a big effort here. Penny Garcia scored at Carlisle in June but the resultant weight rise has seen her struggle.
