ACKLAM EXPRESS, third in last year's King's Stand Stakes, was racing in Dubai at the beginning of the year and reappeared in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock. He'll find this much more to his liking in his first handicap start since scoring at Goodwood three years ago. Khanjar proved himself a smart handicapper last summer when scoring at this level at Haydock on fast going while Walking On Clouds has only been raised 1lb for scoring here last month. Edward Cornelius is 3lb lower than when beaten a head on quick ground here last summer.
