Race preview
BARAK WARRIOR showed marked improvement after being gelded to make a winning handicap debut at Bath last month and that form is working out well. Even though a 7lb rise makes life tougher for James Keane's charge, he might be up to the task. Mountbatten failed to supplement his Southwell success when last of four over 1m6f at Yarmouth in June, but the application of first-time cheekpieces might eke out more. Of the remainder, Al Maslool makes the most appeal.
