Race preview
BARRAKHOV registered his first career win when scoring at Southwell in January and, in first-time cheekpieces, the Fergal O'Brien-trained six-year-old may have even more to offer. Smokey The Bandit is not fully exposed for Nicky Richards and looks capable of a bold showing, while Economic Editor showed improved form when a close second at Wetherby and is another to consider.
