Mr Mafia beat Western Sunrise over course and distance around this time last year but is still 9lb higher. Glanvilles Guest won at Worcester when returning from a break but the second did nothing for the form last week. PROPHETS PRAYER was only third in that race but gets a 2lb pull in the weights for a couple of lengths. He is only five so there should be more to come so he gets the vote. Gamain is a strong stayer but Calin Du Brizais is hard to catch right and Goodnitesweetheart appears to have lost the plot.
