BUXTED REEL could be the interesting one in this. He is upped in class but his half-brother Shwaiman was a thorough stayer so there is every chance that he’ll improve again over this longer trip. Levitate never threatened over track and trip last time and has something to find with Leicester runner-up Nova Legend on the form book. Mugader was only third off this mark at Goodwood but Havaila has scope making his handicap debut as he holds Highland Frolic on Salisbury running.
