Pat Millman's claim made all the difference for Shirataki at Lingfield earlier this month but he may be worth opposing back here off a 4lb higher mark. THANE OF CAWDOR won over course and distance last month before finishing third at Wolverhampton and has the beating of Beggers Belief. We'll give him another chance as Foxhaven is starting to get a bit long in the tooth and Mister Green is taking a big step up in distance. Al Amaan has only managed one victory in 36 career starts and is usually worth opposing while this may be too far for Cape Joy.
