AMIR PASHA won the last time he raced in this grade and goes well at this track. He could prove the one to beat in such a lowly handicap. The biggest danger lurks at the other end of the weights with recent Catterick third Al Furat attempting this longer trip for the first time, although They All Laughed has claims on his best form. Body Language is without a win but open to improvement and Fantino is rapidly sliding down the weights, but understandably so as he's been beaten out of sight in three starts this year. It's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
