Both Teqany and Tawaafoq ought to be far better than they've shown on the track to date, and a poor showing from either horse at this lowly level would spell frustrating times for their respective connections. Those horses towards the top end of the weights are likely to play a leading hand here with Spirit of Sarawan beaten by a subsequent winner on his latest outing, and Fire Palace showing last term that she can be most competitive from this mark. However, FARLEIGH MAC faced some tough 'gigs' after winning at Salisbury in June 2016, and he will relish the drop in grade here for his seasonal reappearance, and could prove the answer in an open race.
