Appease comes out best at the weights but has shown nothing since finishing second at Lingfield back in April. AL MUHEER is preferred on his latest run at Newmarket where he found only one too good and he also makes more appeal than My Son Max. The latter is another with a chance on today's terms despite a poor effort at Newcastle last time but Best Trip has been struggling for a while and is harder to fancy.
