Verdict
KHAJAALY returned from a short break to register his first win when successful over C&D in November. He has been raised 4lb for that but won a shade cosily and can go in again now he has finally got his head in front. Just Timmy Marcus is on a logn losing run and was denied once again when caught close home last time, but Kipchak may not be waiting much longer for a return to the winners' enclosure having shown signs of a return to form recently. Nubar Boy has struggled since winning his maiden in January but has slipped down the weights to a more realistic mark.
