MARKAZZI ran so well behind Albaqaa when dropped back to this trip at Newmarket a month ago that this progressive type should be followed from what is probably a lenient mark. All three of Karaka Jack's victories have been over 7f but he came with a late rattle to score at York that the extra furlong shouldn't be a problem. The veteran Just Bond has 13 victories to his credit but none on ground with give unlike nine-times winner Charlie Cool, who doesn't mind any conditions and was unlucky in-running at Goodwood where Don't Call Me ran very well to finish fourth. First Post probably wouldn't want any more rain but he's in cracking form and is just 2lb higher than when landing a competitive handicap at Ascot.
