Muftarres went close at Warwick last time having won at Wolverhampton before that when Glenridding was third. The latter re-opposes on better terms and may come out best on this occasion. Macaabra won her maiden over track and trip but is proving unreliable as she was well beaten on her latest start while Powerful Pierre will find this tougher than the seller he won on the Polytrack last month. RANGI bounced back with a close-up second at Redcar on Tuesday and Tony Carroll's charge gets the speculative vote to go one better in this.
