WANAASAH hasn't backed up a runaway Wolverhampton success three starts back although punished accordingly by the assessor. His penultimate start produced a decent runner-up effort but it looked as if he may not have stayed this trip latest, though connections try 1m6f once again. He's given another chance in receipt of weight all round and hopefully ridden with greater restraint. Brasca was also below par the last twice but will be more at home on this surface and at this trip. He's interesting along with Lord Lamington, back to action quickly in typical Johnston fashion. Cosmic Landscape returns from a break so Jukebox Jive looks best of the older contingent.
