MINORTRANSGRESSION landed a C&D hat-trick earlier this month and is up another 6lb in the weights. However, he appeared to win with a bit up his sleeve last time and is taken to register the four-timer in this company. On The Cusp landed a claimer over track and trip last time and another bold bid looks likely from him, but Mazovian is still struggling to find his best form despite slipping down the weights. Dubaianswer is lightly-raced and dropping in class and could prove the biggest threat if handling the surface.
