Only two horses in the last 10 years have carried more than nine stone to victory and the last one was in 2007. So the likes of Lexington Times, War Envoy and Hail The Hero have no easy task despite competing in Group 1 races earlier this year. Mutarakez defied a 10lb rise to win at Haydock last time, beating Carry On Deryck, and Paul Hanagan prefers him to recent Newmarket scorer Sahaafy and all-weather winner Malaf. Amazour is another progressive type raised 9lb for his latest win while Bow And Arrow is upped in class as he bids for a four-timer and Godolphin are also represented by Irish raider Portage. Capel Path was second over 7f here last month and stablemate Quick Defence won a Leicester maiden while Dancetrack went close in Listed company in April. Yorkshire Dales may not have finished improving yet and the same comment applies to King To Be and Make It Up but a speculative vote goes to AZRAFF. His earlier second to Peacock over today's trip reads well enough and first-time blinkers may help sharpen him up as he drops back in trip.
