The unbeaten MITRAAD got the better of a previous winner to land his handicap debut at Newmarket and William Haggas' charge is worth sticking with despite a 7lb hike. Hakka proved less progressive when a well beaten third at York on his handicap bow while the more exposed Inexorable Tide landed a double with victory over track and trip in June. Holiday Magic has every chance if at his best on his first start since March and is preferred to the Godolphin runner Super Kid.
