A beaten favourite twice in June, Surrajah gets first-time blinkers but isn’t certain to be suited by a further step up in distance. Lyrical Ballad is 0-6 on the all-weather but was probably given too much to do at Bath last month. TEMUJIN was a course and distance winner in August and third off this mark at Chelmsford last time so another big run is anticipated but Jeanette May has yet to race beyond a mile and there are stamina doubts on pedigree. Narjes lacks a recent run but would have claims if fully wound up.
