Verdict
Patience is wearing thin with SIRAJIAH, who was beaten at odds-on here earlier in the month. But she can end a frustrating sequence getting 9lb from the four-year-old Magical Effect, who has also proved difficult to place and races over the minimum for the first time. Wernotfamusanymore showed definite promise last year but this is his first run since October, though fitness shouldn't be a problem. Head East is also making his seasonal reappearance while Corridor Kid hasn't been seen since finishing second over track and trip in April.
