Mishrif is creeping back up the weights despite not winning and it's been over two years since he last got his head in front. Bloodsweatandtears is 8lb higher than when scoring at Brighton in September and SANTADELACRUZE is preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length at Kempton last time and should get the better of recent 7f winner One Last Dream. Dear Maurice also steps up in trip but Tee It Up Tommo is open to further progress and may figure.
