The Turpinator and Badrah are both penalised returning from lengthy absences while Mount Marcy, another four-year-old, is having a first run since second here in March. Sayf Al Dawla never looked like catching market rival Neenee’s Choice at Ffos Las but should have learned plenty. WALDLOWE looked sure to win when striking the front at Thirsk last time but was collared in the shadows of the post. He’s making his all-weather debut but is the one to beat if taking to the surface.
