It was soft going when Aldhaja won by a nose at Haydock and MAPLEWOOD is preferred on today’s ground. The latter came up short at York on his handicap debut but headgear is applied and this faster surface will suit. Night Of Luxury also represents Godolphin though drops back down in trip after scoring over 1m2f at Leicester while Redcar winner Roudemental was beaten off today’s mark at Doncaster. Two Tempting placed here having won his penultimate start at Kempton while both Vee Sight and Hamaki return to action with a shout.
