Mawaqeet, a decent stayer on the Flat, won over 2m5f at Perth in July but couldn't follow up under a penalty at Cartmel and looks vulnerable again here. Bajan Blu won a novices' handicap at Worcester in July but has been well beaten in his last two starts and more interesting is PATSYS CASTLE. He hasn't raced since April but the ex-pointer was taking on much stronger opposition last season and has been found a good opportunity here. It's difficult to make a case for either Market Mal or Amberjam.
