Kajaki won at Catterick the last time he raced over 1m6f but that was on fast ground. Berrahri won easily at Epsom last time but over 1m2f and Airton also steps up in distance after scoring at Newcastle. Takbeer won over today’s trip at Newbury recently and Zenafire scored in soft ground over 1m6f at Haydock earlier this year but Sparte Quercus is upped in class and trip after winning on his handicap debut at Doncaster. MONACO ROSE won in sot going earlier and has placed here on a couple of occasions subsequently. Richard Fahey’s filly should go well again off her current mark and gets the nod.
