Mood For Mischief is still a maiden but has been racing over further and should be suited by dropping back. Arabic Culture won a seller over a mile here and has changed hands. He’s also won over 1m3f at Kempton so should stay this trip. Tetradrachm went up 9lb for his course and distance victory and has been unable to cope with the extra while it’s a long time since Flood Defence won a race and she’s only slowly coming down the weights. DREAM MAGIC was racing from a 14lb higher mark at this time a year ago and looks to have dropped enough in the ratings to take this judging by a much better effort here last time so gets the vote.
