Adrakhan has won over 2m but arrives out of sorts. Cray and Saved By The Bell are also struggling at present but Mont Royal showed signs of a resurgence when placed over 1m4f at Doncaster last time. DALSHAND was also placed at Doncaster earlier this month having tumbled down the weights since joining current connections at the end of last year. He may well be capable of winning off his current mark and gets another chance over this longer trip.
