Ghathanfar is fitted with cheekpieces despite winning without headgear at Pontefract recently. King Of Tonga scored at Chester but is 6lb higher but James Watt won this last year, with Modular Magic back in fourth, and arrives in good form. The latter is preferred of his yard’s three runners while Kevin Ryan also runs three with PEGGY SIOUX making more appeal than Guest List and Eeh Bah Gum. The three-year-old was beaten less than a length in a valuable sprint at Ascot last month and should make another bold bid in this lower grade.
