Verdict

Mustaaqeem must have outstanding claims dropping into 0-70 company and would be a shoo-in on the best of his form when with Sir Michael Stoute. Connections are certainly trying all they can to rekindle the fires with first-time cheekpieces and the champion jockey booked. He is a temptation but SULA ISLAND looks more reliable, is steadily improving with the step-up in distance and ran a sound race here last time when a decent third over this trip and ground. Hopefully she will maintain her progression and go close. The consistent Paddy A is a danger to both if his stamina holds out as he tackles this trip for the first time. Strictly Art and Carthage house place claims in a trappy contest.
