A couple of these won over track and trip last time including Mobarhin, who beat both Deputise and El Hombre. But ALABLAQ won nicely when dropped down into this grade and there looks more to come from David Evans’ charge at this level. Impeach also won here earlier in the month but never threatened at Wolverhampton last week while Swiss Pride was in good form here early last year when winning three times but still looks a shade high in the weights.
