In depth
Verdict
A Listed winner earlier this month, Qaysar struggled under a penalty at Windsor just two days later when finishing well ahead of BRENTFORD HOPE. Much better was expected from the latter given he was sent off favourite but that was his first outing since October and any further rain will suit. King Carney also returned a losing favourite last time having slipped down the weights and is fitted with a hood today while the remaining trio all need to put below par efforts behind them including Mustarrid, who won off a 10lb lower mark here in October.
