MORAAWED beat Qaysar when scoring over today’s trip at Sandown and the latter went on to land a double. That looks strong enough form to go close in this and he’s preferred to Posted. The latter made a winning debut in handicaps when scoring at Salisbury and makes more appeal than stablemate Canton Queen, who makes her handicap debut. Cristal Breeze and Nubough look on a high enough marks judged on recent placed efforts while though Tenax went close at Carlisle last time he attempts this longer trip for the first time.
