Mutarajjil pulled much too hard when favourite at Salisbury and will need to settle better here if he is to open his account. King Of Swing has been raised 4lb for finishing second at Thirsk, which looks harsh, but there are possibilities about Laughton after a pipe-opener at Beverley. Dacoity could go well on his handicap debut but neither Angie's Girl nor Secret Clause showed much on their respective reappearances. STRICTLY CARTER has had a few chances but gets one more as she goes well on fast surfaces and has been left on the same mark as when second at Brighton three weeks ago.
