Alhajjaj is always at his best at this time of the year so it shouldn't have been too much of a shock when he scored a fortnight ago. He's only up 3lb so another big run is expected. HAPPAUGUE (NAP) hasn't had much racing and was having just his second start here when gaining a comfortable victory in January with Ragtime Red 10 lengths behind. A 9lb rise looks excessive but there's plenty more to come and he can complete a double. Anfaass doesn't win very often but was having his first start over the trip when just failing to hold Iron Blue in January and has only gone up 1lb. Followme Followyou is 0-13 and still looking a few pounds high
