Mukha Magic is 5lb higher than when winning this contest last year while Socially Shady was also winning off a 5lb lower mark when successful at Lingfield at the end of last year. ROCK CHANT (NAP) has been struggling on the Turf but was in winning form on the all-weather before that and is only 2lb higher than when scoring over a course and distance in April. Home And Dry will be sharper for a recent comeback and is preferred to Thefastnthecurious.
