Verdict
Eastern Racer found 7f on soft ground beyond him at Ayr and is much better suited by this trip and fast ground. Explain is comfortable at this level as he showed at Thirsk in May and he's only 4lb higher. Mishaal is gradually dropping to a winnable mark though he doesn't score often while Maureb seems best over an extra furlong. Evangelical is the only three-year-old in the line-up and may do better now tackling quicker ground but this can go to GRAN CANARIA QUEEN (NAP). Tim Easterby's mare scored at this level over the track and trip last month and never recovered from a tardy start at Newmarket last weekend.
