Goohar is eased in grade after failing to justify market support at Haydock. At the other end of the handicap, Istimraar warrants a second look having improved for the step up to 2m4f while Separate Shadows and Well Rewarded are lightly raced. Ink Master and Doktor Glaz are others to consider but SPECIAL WELLS had the form of his Wetherby win franked when the runner-up skated up off a higher mark at Musselburgh last week. On that evidence, he's still well weighted and Jonathan England's claim is a plus.
