It's hard to make a strong case for any of this modest bunch. Malaysian Boleh is a winner on Polytrack and has slipped back down the weights but Eastern Dragon remains 4lb higher than his win at Wolverhampton back in April. BRYNFORD found only one too good at the same track last month and, given she can boast the best recent form, Chris Dwyer's filly gets a tentative vote. Mighty Mata was still beaten over seven lengths when third at Windsor but may do better now handicapping for the first time.
