Teqany has produced a couple of solid performances in this grade since wind surgery and is unlikely to be far away again. Constancio travelled strongly for along way on his reappearance at Southwell but would not any more rain as he is best on top of the ground. Karakoram was a consistent sort last season but hasn’t raced since March and has a poor strike-rate while Magical Thomas was beaten 17 lengths when third in a lesser race on his return to action. FERROBIN had to work hard to get back to winning ways at Fontwell but has only been raised 3lb and is still well treated on the form he showed as a novice.
