MACK THE KNIFE was racing over this trip for the first time at Wolverhampton and landed the odds in some style from today's rival Molliana. He looks to have been found another good opportunity in this classified race. The runner-up has an excellent record on Turf and has won over timber so is expected to give another good account of herself. Brute Force ran a bit better when stepped up to this trip for the first time last month and can improve further while Clog Na Fola was staying on over 1m3f here ten days ago.
