Though MESAAFI has proved expensive to follow of late, he has slipped back to the mark off which he landed handicaps over this C&D and at Lingfield in June. The 4-y-o is taken to resume winning ways, with the consistent Charlie Mason second choice ahead of Tyger Bay, who wasn't able to get a good early position following a slow start in the C&D handicap won by Justcallmepete last month.
