The Haggas yard have a good record in this and AJYAALL looks to have leading claims. Beaten less than a length in a classified race at Ascot recently, he can go one better. Dejame Paso failed to land a hat-trick when beaten at York last time but this looks less competitive while United Front had been in good form on the all-weather before struggling on the Knavesmire back in May. Chance will be sharper for last month’s outing and would welcome any rain.
