A graveyard for favourites and a real headache for punters, where relief can be provided by JAAHIZ, while Regal Approval can go very close. The latter showed an excellent attitude to win an Epsom maiden over this trip on good ground last time. The front pair were dominant that day and from a mark of 81 for his nursery debut he has to be feared. Puddle Duck has frame claims but a win would be a surprise, while Honeymead will find this less taxing than Group 3 company and might enjoy some cut, so could go very well. Trip and ground will suit Haydock winner Madany, who is 8lbs higher today and remains a real threat, but we will side with Jaahiz. Conditions should not be a problem and a return to this track and trip can see him come good.
