Verdict
Mystic Miraaj landed a Class 6 handicap on soft ground at Newcastle in May and hasn't been beaten far in two subsequent starts at this level. Kylach Me If U Can was beaten a head in a slightly better race here last time and looks sure to take some beating from the same mark. Mr Cool Cash is progressing nicely and scored over a mile here last time though an 8lb rise looks harsh and the runner-up, Miningrocks, has since run poorly. Danot makes a quick reappearance after a fair run at Newcastle on Friday but it's the lightly-raced and improving EUXTON (NAP) who gets the vote as she has been staying on strongly over 6f and was unlucky not to finish much closer here last time.
