      Verdict

      MUMTAAZ made a winning debut for Charlie Hills’ yard when scoring over track and trip on his handicap bow. He had the re-opposing Gert Lush back in fourth on that occasion and there is more to come from him. Strawberry Jack has slipped back down to a winning mark though never threatened when third at Windsor while Captain Claret won over track and trip last summer and is preferred to Espresso Freddo.
