Verdict

Mutoondresdashorse was beaten only a head on his racecourse debut at Newmarket but that was over year ago now. Art's Desire has been thereabouts without threatening in both starts so far and Alqalsar may prove suited by the drop back in trip after a modest debut over a mile here last month. But BALESTRA should also have improved for a recent introduction at Lingfield and he gets the nod with Frankie taking over the reins for this. Innstigator and Red Emperor are others to note along with the newcomer Captive.
