Last year’s winner Mysterial carries a penalty for winning at Beverley during the week but Against The Odds was upped only 3lb for scoring at Windsor last time. Justice Grace made all to win over 1m2f here last month and went close again recently while MARENGO has had his last four starts at this venue and won two of them. He had Nabhan back in fifth last week and is taken to go in again with Jordan Williams’ allowance negating a rise in the weights.
