Agostino won over track and trip last month when beating HABOOBA. But the latter re-opposes on 5lb better terms and is taken to turn the tables with headgear reapplied. Araifjan was sent off favourite here when ending a long losing run and can figure again while Dicko The Legend finally opened his account when successful over course and distance. Mokaatil finished closer at Wolverhampton recently though has done most of his winning over the minimum trip.
