In depth
Verdict
Attain has been in good form over track and trip this month and there’s no reason why he wont be in the firing-line again but Hot Mustard is stepping up in distance after a recent second here over a mile. Touched By Love may do better now handicapping and has more scope than the likes of Lady Lunchalot and The Gay Cavalier but BOB’S BOY may have been found a soft race for his return to the Flat. He didn’t take to hurdles over the winter but won over course and distance in August and will lack nothing in fitness.
