Rajayoga is preferred to Mister Completely and Domenico. Rajayoga is no great shakes but the step up to two miles looks as if it could do the trick and Patrick Hills' claim has to be of some assistance. Mister Completely does not win many but he has been successful in the past over this trip and does have the services of a rider who knows him well. Domenico is not in the greatest of form of late although he should be relatively fit from a spell over hurdles. Malibu has shown glimpses of ability at this level although an ability over the trip is not known. Krasivi's Boy is a maiden over 19 starts and the jury is out. Galandora stays the trip but isn't particularly quick. Having considered the opposition, Rajayoga is given the tentative vote.
