Social City landed a 1m6f handicap last month and was narrowly beaten in a bunch finish over this trip at Lingfield. He just holds Mr Fox on that victory while Muraaqeb has been a grand servant to Milton Bradley, scoring for the seventh time for the yard over 1m4f at Kempton, though that's the furthest he's ever raced over. ESTRELA STAR was having only his second start at this trip when scoring comfortably at Kempton last week. He's penalised 5lb but it will be a surprise if he can't handle the extra. Grandscape scored over 1m3f at Southwell in December and has never raced over a trip this far while Contingency Fee was well beaten over track and trip last month.
