The Whipmaster bids for a four-timer upped 4lb but the rise in class may prove a bigger problem while Liverpool Knight also faces a tougher task than when scoring over track and trip last time. Lucander won over 1m2f here last month and can figure if lasting home while Old Port and GLOBAL HEAT ran below par on their latest starts. But slow ground and Listed opposition looked legitimate excuses for the latter and Saeed bin Suroor’s charge gets another chance on an earlier third at Wolverhampton.
