Muhtaris has been off the track for nearly a year having won at Nottingham on his debut. Jakey was having his first start of the season when winning a maiden at Epsom last month while Lilac Tree hasn't raced since a fourth at Nottingham back in April. Nickels And Dimes found only one too good last time and may yet get her head in front this year while Newbury winner Raskova is not out of this back over her winning trip. BLIGHTY failed to get a clear run at Pontefract on his handicap bow when forced wide and he gets another chance in this ahead of Paris Rose, who is dropped in class.
