Tim Easterby is mob handed with six runners including last year’s winner STAXTON, who won for a third time here back in April and is taken to reverse latest running with Mr Wagyu back on today’s faster surface. The latter landed the consolation race for the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood a fortnight ago when also beating subsequent winner Mokaatil and Music Society while Lampang and last year’s third Mr Lupton were both beaten in Stewards Cup itself. The in-from pair Lincoln Park and Soul Seeker are closely matched, though the latter was due to run at Thirsk yesterday, while Intrinsic Bond and Gale Force Maya filled the places in a lower grade sprint over track and trip recently.
