The once-useful Los Nadis struggles in this grade nowadays but ensure a decent gallop. Apachee Prince looked beaten when falling last time at Market Rasen but Politeness only found one too good when chasing a hat-trick at Cartmel, though has been raced a further 4lb since. UMBESHWAR can't get much lower in the weights and, despite returning from a break, may still have the ability to win a race like this. Mustadrik completed a double in the spring and also won on the Flat last month but his form has tailed off since.
