Mohaaraj is a fair 3-year-old who has shown useful form this year with two wins before finishing sixth in stronger company on his last two starts.

2Pol Roger58/100
Pol Roger is a fair sort who has been in decent nick this year with four wins from his last ten starts. He has placed on soft ground but is winless in four runs at York and has drawn stall 11 today. The trip suits him well enough having won four times over it.

Fair performer who has won twice at this trip from seven attempts and brings solid recent form including a second on his latest start. Trainer has a strong 17% strike rate at York from 120 runs but the jockey has only two rides here so far.
