Al Zaraqaan won in Sweden after getting off the mark over timber at Newton Abbot in August and still has a bit of scope. Legal Rights won three times last season but Jamie Moore partners stablemate Saligo Bay, who ran well in a pipe-opener on the Flat earlier this month. Pride Of Nepal has won three times on the Flat this year so should be capable of improving on last season’s efforts over timber but Rafiki looks to be going backwards and Anger Management’s juvenile form is nothing to write home about. COASTGUARD STATION has form over track and trip and won a Southwell maiden in April – he should do well in handicaps this season.
