Mexicali Rose comes out best at the weights but that was also the case at Lingfield back in June when returning a beaten favourite. LAHAB is preferred as he finished third to a couple of much higher rated horses at Kempton last time and also has the beating of the more-exposed King's Gem on these terms. Charencey may improve on this faster surface and Nuketown has switched yards.
