Malaysian Boleh has dropped to a decent mark but will surely find this too short. Bahango won his maiden over course and distance and was successful when last seen in a Class 6 at Ripon, though that was back in August. Jaarih is back in the right grade but YOU'RE COOL has been knocking on the door lately at Chelmsford. John Balding's charge won over 6f here last March and may be ready to strike again. Archie Stevens was beaten in a seller here last week so the returning Mutafaakir may be the pick of the remainder.
