Roxyfet won three times in minor company in France and started off here off a mark of 120. He'd dropped to 80 when gaining a comfortable victory in a Sedgefield handicap and comes here with a 7lb penalty. Court Of Law had been in good form before a poor run at Musselburgh while Wakhan, who ran some fine races last season without quite managing to get there, ran poorly when well supported on his reappearance at Sedgefield. The latter is better than that and looks a threat though the vote goes to AREGRA. He will have found the minimum trip too short on his chasing debut at Sedgefield in September but was only beaten narrowly and with that experience under his belt he can go one better.
