JOSIEBOND proved well suited to a track which puts the emphasis on stamina when staying on stoutly to oblige over the extended mile at Beverley last month and can follow up off a 3lb higher mark. She'd probably appreciate some cut in the ground but has won on the forecast quicker conditions and arrives in better heart than some. Motarajel was three lengths behind her at Beverley but that rated an improved effort from the gelding and he's 5lb better off here not to mention the 3lb claim of Sean Kirrane. He's an obvious danger. Masham Moor is consistent to say the least but hasn't had a run on the grass since August 2021 and Mr Heinz is another consistent enough sort at this level who is also better off with the selection on their Beverley running and should be competitive once again.
