Muraaqeb opened his account over the extended mile here last month but has been raised 9lb. Course regular Arrowzone, Final Attack and Sharp Operator have also won over the latter distance at this venue over the winter while Traveller and Creative Talent were both beaten less than a length over track and trip last time but the handicapper has taken a chance dropping KILBAHA LADY a further 2lb after placing over course and distance and Nigel Tinkler’s mare gets a speculative vote in something of a lottery.
