MASHAAN has been rejuvenated by a switch to Alice Haynes’ in-form yard having returned a convincing winner over course and distance last week. He may well shrug off a 5lb rise and confirm latest running with both Cappananty Con and Soyounique. The latter beat Olivia Mary when successful here back in January while Kenstone’s recent win came in a selling handicap at Wolverhampton but this is tougher. Rainbow Mirage finished ahead of Cape Greco when placed over a mile last time though the latter is preferred over this shorter trip.
