The first reserve Mokhalad would be carrying a penalty and a huge weight if getting a run after scoring at Galway on Monday. Beleaguerment is similarly penalised for his success over 6f here on Friday but is probably better over this trip. He was conceding 2lb to ACCESSORY when beating him narrowly at Gowran in July but the latter has the edge at the revised weights with Jake Coen's claim taken into consideration and can gain his first victory on the track. Tai Sing Yeh was four lengths behind Beleaguerment on Friday but found 6f too short and was staying on. California Poppy has yet to win and was beaten in a maiden claimer here last month.
