Mawjood finished runner-up at Wetherby in July and also found one too good when sent off odds-on at Ripon last time. He has the beating of recent course third Fragile Earth on today's terms but a chance is taken on SINAKAR in this especially if strongly supported in the betting. The latter had just the one start in France last year and new trainer David O'Meara has a good strike rate with older horses at the track.
