Race preview
HATHIQ left a favourable impression when scoring over this trip at the Curragh last weekend and the lightly-raced former Owen Burrows inmate is officially 7lb ahead of the handicapper now turned out under a 5lb penalty. Muthmir is having his first run in a handicap since breaking the track record in the 2014 Portland at Doncaster and should get the frantic pace to chase that he craves. Copper Knight, Just Glamorous and Caspian Prince, the latter of whom has won this contest three times already, are three of those expected to inject pace into the race. A quick tempo would also suit 2013 winner Duke Of Firenze, who showed his fire still burns bright when successful at York last weekend.
