MAJOR J was no match for the progressive Kayfast Warrior when runner-up here but still finished in front of Capaldi. He should be thereabouts at the finish again in a weak contest. Willa went close in a similar race at Ripon earlier while Carter Cowboy drops back down in trip for his debut on the all-weather and is preferred to Kornflake. Bookmark is the least exposed of the remainder.
