These are a sorry-looking bunch with Fitzwilliam saddled with top weight even though he was beaten in a classified stakes over course and distance last week. Jackpot went close at Lingfield earlier this month off today's mark but her only wins on Turf have come in the Channel Islands. Khajaaly, Lutine Charlie and Stanlow would have a chance at the weights but so would MALIH, whose last win came over track and trip last June when only 2lb lower. He's been racing over longer trips on the all-weather over the winter.
