Eye Of The Water found one too good yet again when second at Newbury though can race off a lower mark back on the all-weather. MINHAAJ (NAP) has only won over the minimum trip so far but was beaten less than a length over course and distance last time and an apprentice’s 7lb allowance can see him back to winning ways. Steelriver was in good form here earlier in the year but Chookie Dunedin disappointed over track and trip last time. Production has been in better form of late while One Night Stand drops down a grade and may do better.
