Most of these can given a chance of sorts including top weight Plutocracy, narrowly beaten over 1m4f here on his return to action and closely matched with Majeed on that running. Khusoosy made a winning reappearance over 1m2f here and ended last season with a defeat of LANDWADE LAD over a mile at the track. The latter can re-oppose on better terms today having improved over longer trips since then and returned a three-length winner over course and distance last week. But he gets only a tentative vote as the likes of Chelmsford winner Radhaadh and the unexposed Smartie Artie are others with a shout.
