Most of these can be given a chance but ME TOO NAGASAKI won a higher grade handicap at Doncaster recently and is taken to continue his good progress. The unbeaten Pavillon also drops in class after winning on her handicap debut while Mukalal and Weloof won maiden races on the all-weather last time. Quinteo beat El Cap over 7f at the track in September and the latter was placed again back here on his reappearance while soft ground may have been an excuse for both Glorious Forever and Dowayla last time. Makaarim and Jupiter Light are better than their latest runs suggest.
