Moonday Sun is upped a further 5lb after scoring over track and trip and Off The Pulse looks stuck on his current mark after another placed effort here. NIBLAWI was placed at Windsor on his return to action but, racing off the same mark today on only his third start handicapping, he can finally come good. Shamlan and Qaffaal are recent course winners but over shorter trips and My Mo is preferred back over 1m2f after fading badly in the closing stages over 1m4f here last time.
