Raydiance was due to run yesterday at Thirsk. Golden Apollo is a useful handicapper over 6f but is 0-8 over this trip and best at York. Ulshaw Bridge is consistent over 7f and a mile but struggles to get his head in front. Hajjam, Whinmoor and Ayr runner-up Presidential are all course and distance winners but the three-year-old MUTARAFFA got back on track at Lingfield after a blip at Haydock and any easing of the ground would not necessarily be a negative. Raselasad has been knocking on the door this term but is still 5lb higher than when successful at Catterick a year ago.
