Bear Profit won over track and trip last month with Open Mind back in third. He can confirm running despite a 5lb rise but BADRI gets another chance. The latter had been in winning form before repeatedly denied a clear run at Newcastle and looks sure to make a bold bid with normal luck in-running. Cairn Gorm steps back up in trip but is down in class and can figure while Quest For Fun landed a double over today’s trip during the summer and Mohareb is back on a winning mark.
