PHANGIO has slipped down the weights and went close to taking advantage over a shorter trip here recently when just ahead of Charlie Mon. The latter also has decent claims again while Kapricorne was sent off favourite at Towcester last time but was brought down early in the race - he can also figure with a clear round. The remainder are all struggling for form and harder to fancy.
