ABAREEQ won a tougher race than this over 1m4f at Lingfield last week and is taken to defy a penalty. He’d earlier finished behind runner-up Forceful Appeal over a mile at Wolverhampton but both the latter and recent winner Qaffaal have something to find on collateral form with Ickymasho, who won a lower grade contest over course and distance on her latest start. Ice Royal was behind Qaffaal here last time while Pactolus remains hard to predict, though has a shout on his earlier success at Wolverhampton.
