Short Work arrives in a rich vein of form but, along with Lagenda, was behind Dark Intention here last month and is worse off at the weights. Qeyaadah makes some appeal on his second at Doncaster in August, when ahead of Johnny Cavagin, but Instant Attraction was a little disappointing when tried in a visor at Haydock while this looks too far for Kenny The Captain. SHADY MCCOY was produced to perfection by Ryan Moore at Ascot and Richard Kingscote is charged with the task of arriving as late as possible on Ian Williams' quirky seven-year-old today. If everything goes his way, the top weight is more than capable of defying a penalty. Mujassam did much better last time at Pontefract and is a danger.
