Pontefract winner Muatadel was only fourth behind Kilconquhar here earlier but is 5lb better off. Mansfield could be interesting back on Turf for the first time since a second at Musselburgh in May while a lengthy absence shouldn’t deter anyone from giving Letmestopyouthere a second look. EQUIDAE has been racing over further lately but was placed over track and trip in the summer off a higher mark so gets a tentative vote in a race that won’t take much winning.
