Mujid won over a mile in first-time cheekpieces here early last month and is arguably even more effective over this longer trip. He has only been raised 2lb and Lost In Time would have leading claims if the rains arrive. Shalfa has slipped to a fair mark but still has plenty to prove over this trip, finishing behind Pink Lily and Lost In Time at Lingfield last month. AL HARGAH has been raised a further pound but has placed in both starts since scoring at Leicester. She gets the nod, though Letaba can’t be ignored hailing from a yard in great form at present.
