Both of QARASU’s victories have come on soft ground. His only failure to date came when he lost his action on quicker going at Newmarket in July and he can continue his progress by landing this. Ocala is also very much at home on the surface but has been raised a further 2lb since his latest second at Newbury. Lunar Jet is back in the right grade and Finniston Farm likes it here but Sawwaah probably has a bit prove upped in trip having only a third run of the season. Anythingtoday faces a stiff task under a big weight while Awake My Soul has yet to recapture his best form so far this year.
