Bertiewhittle almost cashed in on a lenient mark at Doncaster earlier this month but has gone up in the weights again since and isn't one to trust. Baltic Brave is usually thereabouts but is struggling to get his head in front while Zalty has disappointed this term. Excellent Guest needs fast ground and Morache Music and Fieldsman have been below par this year but Sir Robert Cheval has a chance at the weights, though his stable has been in the doldrums lately. MUJASSAM didn't give his true running at Newbury last time. He's tried in a visor here and could be the one to beat if the headgear has the desired effect.
