Ben Pauling has his string in great form at present so expect MOLE COURT to prove tough to beat as he bids to follow up victory over course and distance. Guttural won elsewhere on that card and arrested something of a losing run under Rules in doing so. Abaya Du Mathan has won twice at Ffos Las this year so going left-handed really shouldn’t be an issue for him. Alghazaal was a beaten favourite in a race at Huntingdon in May and things were no better in a subsequent outing at Southwell. Tom O'Roughley has won a pair of chases here and appears to be best of the rest.
