Several have been competing over 5f including Khabib, who has been raised 9lb for winning at Wolverhampton. Seaclusion and Navajo Spring were both placed over track and trip earlier while Annie Rose returns to her winning distance having gone close over the minimum trip last time. Setantii Girl debuts for a new yard and Rainbow's Pony can do better back in handicap company today but a chance is taken on YORKSHIRE PIRLO. He makes his all-weather debut having been set a tough task at York on his handicap bow and drops down in class for this.
