Nazreef had the re-opposing Mahadee back in third when scoring a shade cosily at Goodwood last time and should confirm running and go close again. Ampleforth has scope for further improvement after finishing third over a longer trip last time, while Tewin Wood and Chapter And Verse have posted some better efforts of late. However, JUST BOND has been competing in higher grade handicaps without success since scoring at Beverley back in May and today's drop in class could see him back to winning ways after another good run at Redcar last time.
