A tight contest at the weights but DELUXE has arguably the best recent form with a third in a Newmarket handicap. He is just preferred to Fine View, a runner-up in a maiden race at Beverley last time. Callac and Must Have took a step backwards on their latest starts but better is expected from Muhaafiz returning to 7f today. Wind In My Sails was a losing favourite over 6f at Chepstow recently but is not out of this on an earlier second at Goodwood.
