CAIRN ISLAND (NAP) finished ahead of the prolific Rohann in a hot handicap at Newmarket on his reappearance in April. That was a very encouraging effort so it’s a surprise that he’s been dropped a pound in the ratings. Recent rain has increased the chances of Master Zoffany, who ran well at Haydock after winning here last month when Yazaman was only sixth. Paws For Thought won over 6f here last month but will struggle to get to the front from an outside draw while Sibaaq has gone up a further 4lb since mugged on the line when favourite at Beverley. Stylish Performer seems best on Tapeta while Sir Benedict was engaged here last night.
