ESSAKA escaped a penalty for an earlier win at Windsor and duly won again at Bath last time. A 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in his current form. Kinglami should have done better at Ffos Las recently having won over track and trip before that while Shovel It On returned a losing favourite over 7f here recently. Yogiyogiyogi has failed to threaten since winning at Bath in June and Perfect Symphony is preferred with last month’s seasonal debut under his belt.
