Maiden winner Al Hamd was well beaten on his handicap bow and Mariee has looked high enough in the weights since scoring at Wolverhampton in January. It remains to be seen how PHILADELPHIA fares now handicapping after winning at Doncaster last month where he beat a subsequent winner. But he is still preferred to Oh This Is Us, upped in class after scoring at Chelmsford and Golden Stunner, who found a subsequent Listed winner too good here last time. Four On Eight is partnered by Ryan Moore and should be noted along with Dutch Gallery and Zaina Rizeena.
