Cosmos Raj makes a quick reappearance under a penalty having broken his duck at Wetherby last Sunday. Sean Kirrane’s claim helps offset the extra with Danny Tudhope switching to Karl Burke’s unexposed filly Celestial Queen but the top weight is not the only recent winner in the line-up. Better By Far picked up a victory at Southwell last month and Almost An Angel was successful at Newcastle but Lingfield scorer KINGDOM FOUND (NAP) looks the more progressive and she should enjoy this fast surface given her liking for Polytrack.
