Course specialist ALMATY EXPRESS returns from a short break in search of an incredible 18th win at this track. Previous victories included this race last year and he won over 5f here on his latest start in May so gets the nod again. Athaakeel won the 2010 renewal but remains out of sorts and Marinus is preferred after his recent second in a claimer over C&D. Anjomarba and Insolenceofoffice make more appeal than Blueberry Fizz but Mawjoodah began this season off a 10lb higher mark and will be taking advantage of her slide down the weights before long.
