Several ran well over track and trip last time with Cosmic Power winning a lower grade contest and Mostawaa placed at this level. But RIVER DAWN was beaten only a length in Class 3 company here recently and looks capable of scoring off his current mark on that evidence. Haydock winner Risk Taker failed to cope with a 9lb hike in the weights at Newbury but Al Namir may do better on his second start after wind surgery and is preferred to Bath runner-up Rectory Road.
