Ghathanfar finished in front of Athollblair Boy when going close at Newcastle though his only success on the Turf so far came over a longer trip. SIR OLIVER has more scope on this surface and allowed to race off a 4lb lower mark than when scoring at Wolverhampton in February, Chris Dwyer’s charge can take advantage and go in again. Yukon Mission is usually in the mix at this level but has yet to get her head in front while the unexposed Soul Seeker debuts for a new yard having failed to win for Dermot Weld in Ireland and is preferred to Stallone.
