Mukhayyam won this last year off a similar mark and has already won at York this season with Final back in third. Tim Easterby also runs Aasheq but the handicapper may have caught up with the latter judged on last week’s second at Chester. SOFIA’S ROCK (NAP) failed to land a blow in the competitive Old Newton Cup at Haydock last time but has every chance on an earlier second in this grade at Windsor. Mark Johnston’s charge gets the vote as that looks stronger form than Benadalid’s recent win at Chester and also Atkinson Grimshaw’s placed effort here during the week.
