Haajes never figured at Southwell last month but is better on Turf and not badly handicapped. He can get involved but it might be the turn of WASEEM FARIS today. The latter makes a quick reappearance after running on late to finish fifth at Windsor on Monday and gets the vote. Expose has been winning on the Polytrack and this looks slightly easier than his latest task behind Taajub, while Sir Geoffrey scored off a much lower mark at Yarmouth last year but usually saves his best for the Fibresand at Southwell.
