MR MIDAZ, a winner at Wetherby on his final start before his summer break can make a winning return to action here. 7lb higher for that win over two furlongs further, the nine year-old is versatile with regard to ground conditions. He makes most appeal but quite a number can be given chances here. Front Rank is much more effective with obstacles in front of him while Seeyaaj, twice a course is well handicapped on his best form. At bigger prices Ardesia could reward each way supporters but Mr Midaz is taken to send punters home happy.
