MORAAHEQ had a subsequent winner back in third when landing a maiden at Kempton on his return to action. With this extra furlong likely to bring further progress now handicapping, Roger Varian’s colt looks the one to beat. No Recollection has been raised 6lb for winning at Wolverhampton with Henrik preferred dropping down a grade for this. Majestic Tejaan has come up short off similar marks in handicaps so far while Babajan’s bid for a hat-trick failed and he’s upped in class today.
