Bayan and Pistol re-oppose on the same terms as when filling the places in a Haydock maiden earlier this month. Both could figure on their handicap debuts but Cape Savannah didn't make much of an impression on his first start in a handicap at Kempton last time. MUBARAZA was a disappointing favourite on fast ground at Sandown last month but today's longer trip and slower surface should suit John Dunlop's Dalakhani colt and he gets the vote. Improvement is expected from Sign Manual but recent winners Bathwick Street, Lady Kashaan and Quiet Appeal are all racing off higher marks in better company today.
