Mubajal could be anything after winning a Chelmsford maiden in a canter - Owen Burrows' three-year-old shouldn't be far away in this. El Beau was a close-up third at York after winning a small race at Hamilton but Hanseatic is better over a mile. Modernism, on the other hand, had been racing over further before his latest one-paced third at Haydock and it's hard to enthuse about the recent efforts of Off Art, though this represents a big drop in class. PLANE SONG is hard to catch right but has ability and races off the same mark as when third here last time, ahead of Modernism and Mysterial – he gets a tentative vote.
