Mustaqbal represents last year's winning trainer but has been raised 7lb for winning over 7f here last time while stablemate Surewecan has struggled so far this year and finished well behind third-placed AUSPICION in a tougher handicap at Doncaster last month. First-time headgear should sharpen-up the latter and the Haggas colt gets the vote dropping down a grade for this. Third Time Lucky is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark in a bid to land a hat-trick while Go Dan Go and Lear's Rock were both foiled in their attempts to land a treble last time, though the latter could go close with Patrick O'Donnell taking 7lb off his back today.
