None of these are proven in soft ground. Richard Fahey bids to land this for the third time in succession with Zahrat Narjis but the latter has not progressed as expected since a good effort at Ascot in May. GALESBURG makes more appeal today as he won at Leicester before failing to get involved in a valuable Class 2 handicap at York - Mark Johnston's colt will be more at home in this grade. Both Show Me Again and Buffalo Soldier ran below par last time while both of Tahiti One's victories came in plating races on the all-weather.
