Mickey gained his only victory to date over this trip and was staying on strongly over 6f at Haydock. Scofflaw bounced back to form at Catterick and has to be of interest from just 4lb higher while Qeyaadah won this last year from Horsted Keynes and has generally performed with credit, though wasn't at his best at Goodwood last time. The latter has the better of the weights and can reverse the places though the vote goes to HAJJAM, who has run here twice and won both times. He also scored at Ayr last month and ran well enough in a better race at York so looks the one to be on.
