A couple of these bid for hat-tricks but Titi Makfi is upped a further 6lb after following a course and distance success with a win at Sandown while Dark Crystal is penalised for last week’s victory at Ayr. It could be the turn of HARAZ today given he can race off the same mark as when runner-up at Beverley and he gets the nod to finally get his head in front. Muirsheen Durkin should be sharper for a recent comeback and has a shout on last year’s placed efforts.
