THAHAB IFRAJ has become expensive to follow but has been eased a couple of pounds so gets one more chance, though is closely matched with Technological on the form book. Percy's Word has to be a threat as he appeared to find 2m4f too far at Worcester in June but Hayedo was behind the selection at Newton Abbot in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat. Limelighter and Some Day Soon also require improvement but Manor Park is interesting having been withdrawn from a race at Wolverhampton yesterday to run here.
