EL ASTRONAUTE won last year’s rescheduled renewal at Doncaster when beating Tarboosh. He returned to action with victory in a conditions' race at Chester when beating King's Lynn and John Quinn’s stalwart looks to have leading claims once again. Moss Gill won a Listed race at York last year and returns from a lay-off with cheekpieces fitted while Aljady is not out of this if back to his best and the same can be said of stablemate Dubai Station, who landed a Group 3 sprint at Newcastle last summer. A smart handicapper, Motagally has something to prove at this level but is preferred of the rest.
