Tasaaboq has been thereabouts off this sort of mark in recent runs but has been done no favours by the draw. BELGRAVIAN was given a positive ride here last month when getting off the mark in a classified stakes. If the headgear works a second time, he could take some catching again from stall two. Anna Medici rattled up a hat-trick in the summer but the handicapper has been in charge in her last two. Dor's Law could have each-way claims, however, along with Tawfeer.
