The usual competitive renewal and Siskany will handle any cut in the ground after going close at Goodwood in July. Gelded since then, he’s preferred to another Godolphin runner in Yarmouth runner-up Marshall Plan. Moshaawer went close in a valuable handicap at York though drops down in trip and it could pay to stick with the highly progressive INJAZATI. The latter landed a hat-trick in good style when upped in class at Newbury and Charlie Fellowes’ charge promises further improvement over today’s longer trip. Southern Voyage is another on the upgrade though this is much tougher than last month’s victory at Thirsk while Boltaway won nicely over track and trip recently and carries a penalty. Candleford passed the post in second at Ascot last time but was disqualified for weighing in light.
