KHAIRAAT won a maiden over a mile at Pontefract last month. The ease of that win backed up with a middle-distance pedigree suggests this extra 2f should not be a problem for Sir Michael Stoute’s colt. St Mary's also attempts a longer trip after a modest handicap debut at Kempton but Wild Hacked makes some appeal after finishing second at Newmarket off today’s mark. Southern Gailes is upped a grade after placing at Newcastle and both Goldenfield and Welford are struggling off their current marks.
