Magistral steps back up in distance after a couple of placed efforts over 7f here while Argaki won this 2015 but hasn’t been at his best so far this season. Zodiakos can figure if forgiven a poor effort at York last time but ABUSHAMAH (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter was winning off a 6lb higher mark last year and Ruth Carr’s charge drops down a couple of grades today on the back of placed efforts at Redcar and Haydock. A winner in Germany last year, Royal Shaheen has also slipped down the weights since joining Alistair Whillans and could go well.
