TITI MAKFI is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark after completing a four-timer at Chester. But a cosy victory gave the impression there was still more to come and Ryan Moore takes over the reins for this. Stablemate Monticello has finished second over track and trip the last twice now and is not out of this either but Leshlaa is 13lb higher than when scoring over today’s trip on the Rowley course here in May. Daawy was runner-up in soft ground at Doncaster on his handicap debut and can go close back on this faster surface while Atkinson Grimshaw drops back in trip having won over 1m4f at Chester and Marzouq attempts today’s longer distance for the first time.
