Four of these won last time but all have a 6lb penalty to carry. Calm Attitude is on a hat-trick but only won by a head over course and distance last week and the drying ground could be a problem. Barnmore's defeat of Bertie Moon came on the Polytrack while Monday's Windsor winner Wordismybond was more than five lengths behind Greyemkay here at the start of last month and is 3lb worse off today. THE MONGOOSE hasn't run a bad race this season when the ground has been good or quicker. He's struck up a good understanding with 7lb claimer Eoin Walsh and a hat-trick is a distinct possibility. Mahadee is eased in grade and starting to come down the weights so could be best of the rest as both Fluctuation and Cape Crossing have disappointed lately.
