Citron Major took advantage of a slide down the weights to score at York last month and remains on a winning mark despite a 4lb rise. But GHATHANFAR was beaten only a neck on the Knavesmire last time with several of these behind, including Ventura Express, Danzan and Fortamour, and another bold bid is expected. The latter has subsequently boosted the form with a course and distance success, beating Tim Easterby’s duo Bossipop and Flying Pursuit in the process, while the likes of Out The Hat, Cooperation and Gabrial The Devil were all beaten off today’s mark last time having won their penultimate outings.
