Gambit and Altarsheed were both tailed off in the same race at Sandown last time and it’s no surprise Paul Hanagan abandons the latter for MUZDAWAJ. William Haggas’ colt won a maiden race at Wolverhampton on his reappearance with a subsequent winner back in fourth and the rest nowhere. Isharah and Justice Grace are other handicap debutants to consider but Daisy Bere has been raised 7lb for her recent success at Nottingham and Rebel Lightning is preferred having gone close at Windsor last time.
