GOOHAR makes a quick reappearance after last week's brave effort at Cheltenham when he was only headed at the line by Starluck. This looks less competitive and Henry Daly's charge is preferred to Sleepy Haven. The latter ran well on his comeback in a Listed handicap at Sandown. He faded badly close home and should strip fitter today. Just Cameron posted a similar effort at Carlisle on his return and is also expected to finish closer in this while Kumbeshwar showed signs of a resurgence when fourth at Wetherby a fortnight ago. Circus Star will appreciate the testing ground and has a fitness edge over Uttoxeter winner Fairy Alisha.
