Bakht A Rawan failed in his hat-trick bid at Chester but the champion jockey keeps faith with Stuart Kittow's Leicester and Bath winner, despite a further pound rise. But ALDEBURGH can follow up a recent course and distance victory off a 3lb higher mark as Willie Twiston-Davies will probably set out to make the most of his proven stamina. Best Tamayuz is upped a couple of grades after scoring over track and trip last month but Kapstadt is not without a chance as he's run well in a couple of starts since returning to the Flat.
