Race preview

Contango has been a bit costly to follow but has slipped to a very attractive mark and appears more than capable of capitalising. COLLIDE could be even better treated, though, because he supplemented a wide-margin Hamilton win with a Carlisle success that was just as bloodless, and he is improving at a rate of knots. Mafaaheem is another with his best days ahead of him and he will relish this ground, while Erik The Red might not be quite as at home on it but arrives fresher than most.l
