More modest fare but a few of these do arrive in decent form. Bogsnog is having his 36th start on the track and seeking a sixth victory. He only scrambled home over 6f here last time, however, and may be better at that trip. Makhfar boasts impressive form figures but his best form is over a mile. Easy Code was placed on his only previous run on the all-weather but is struggling to get his head in front and HIMALAYAN QUEEN makes more appeal. She’s won on Polytrack and overcame trouble in-running to score last time at Yarmouth so a 3lb rise is not excessive.
