Withdrawn
Haajes finished ahead of Captain Royale when runner-up at Thirsk last time but will need to be quickly away from his inside draw to avoid being shuffled back. Pontefract winner Majestic Manannan, Scoreline and Medici Time have their own problems to overcome from the high side of the draw while Mey Blossom is upped in class after finishing fourth here. But TOM SAWYER posted a better effort when a close-up third at Musselburgh last time and he gets a tentative vote with Ortac Rock dropping back to 5f for the first time on his belated seasonal debut.
