Justatenner weakened quickly when fourth at Bangor on Friday and is best watched here if performing a quick turnaround. He did finish ahead of PLANET NINE and Taxmeifyoucan at Ayr but Rose Dobbin’s runner will strip fitter here and can reverse the form. Becky The Thatcher will likely struggle to last home over this trip but she is a game sort while Presence Felt has won off this mark in the past.
