Contingency Fee bids for a hat-trick raised 7lb but his only win on the all-weather so far came at Southwell. Muraaqeb won over 1m3f at Kempton recently but had earlier finished behind HARRY CALLAHAN when the latter scored over today’s trip last month. Mick Channon’s charge has won again subsequently and looks the one to beat with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back for this. Apex Predator went close here before struggling over 1m6f while Broctune Red remains unexposed and the Irish raider Jazzy J could also be thereabouts.
