This looks wide-open but MAFIA POWER made a decent start to handicapping when fourth in a higher grade at Newmarket. Both the winner and third have won subsequently so the form looks solid. Hooroo finished just ahead of Gibraltar over track and trip a fortnight ago and both can figure again but Monsaraz faces a more difficult task than when having placed at Leicester last time. Pot Of Paint has been thereabouts here recently while several make their handicap debuts with Arij preferred to Queen's Favour, Western Hero and Makram.
