Maysong placed in amateur company at Kempton last time but several drop down a grade including Barging Thru, who is back on a winning mark and finished in front of Secret Strength at Lingfield. The latter scored at the same track subsequently but is closely matched with MOHAREB on latest running. Mick Appleby’s charge should be spot on now and may come out best as he was winning off an11lb higher mark last year. Toussarok returns to a longer trip and could prove best of the rest.
