These look a bit of a mixed bunch with two three-year-old maidens taking on older horses. Of that pair, Bustam is preferred to Takeonefortheteam. Wahaab beat Harry Beau by a nose over course and distance last month but the runner-up is now a pound better off, though still on a career-high mark and he was only fourth at Chester subsequently. KYLLACHYS TALE gets quick ground for the first time since scoring at Newbury a year ago. He continues to slip down the weights and this represents a significant drop in grade. Field of Vision has only raced over 7f twice before and been well beaten on both occasions while Briyouni remains out of sorts.
