Al Ameen opened his account dropped down to the minimum trip at Southwell and is penalised. He’d earlier finished behind fourth-placed Miss Candy over today’s distance at Wolverhampton and the latter could go close with normal progress but a chance is taken on the returning WAR IN HEAVEN. Andrew Balding’s charge finished a promising third at Salisbury on his debut and has undergone a wind operation having disappointed at the latter track subsequently. The more exposed Sen Ding ran below par last time and Measured Moments drops down in trip.
