Shuhood is back in the right grade but still looking a few pounds too high. Windsor Cross got back to winning ways upped to this trip at Ripon but could face a battle for the lead with the less-exposed Tobruk. Ad Libitum has been racing over longer trips so a strong pace would suit, though he’s still creeping up the weights. TIGHT LINES is a typically-tough Mark Johnston inmate and there is no reason why she won’t run her race again, despite another 3lb rise.
