Haraz was dropped into maiden company last time but couldn’t get his head in front and has become frustrating, while Clayton Hall flopped at Chester and may need further than this trip. Sir Mark Prescott’s Cote d'Azur has to be respected after a solid win at Chelmsford, but preference is for David Loughnane’s AL NASSER ALWASHIK. He was slowly away on his handicap debut but ran on well and with further improvement to come can take what is a modest race for the grade. Shufoog is the least exposed of these and can make the frame.
