Main Target landed an amateurs’ race at Lingfield while Mashaan found only one too good at the same track but RAJMEISTER has been threatening to open his account since returning to action and, having been beaten just a length at Newbury last time, Tom Clover’s charge gets the nod in an open contest back on the all-weather.
