Recent 1m2f winner Jumeirah Glory was unplaced in a couple of earlier attempts at today's trip while Classic Villager steps up a grade attempting to land a four-timer. Revision and Desdichado are also upped in class and Perceus remains 11lb higher than his earlier win over course and distance. Newmarket winner Shell Bay may prefer faster ground but Carnachy will handle the going having won a maiden over 1m2f at Newbury in August. MAWJOOD also opened his account when beating only two rivals at Hamilton last time. But the third has subsequently won and the Haggas colt gets a tentative vote to land a competitive and wide-open contest.
