Verdict
LA RAV followed a maiden success with a convincing three-length victory at Newbury on his handicap bow and Luca Cumani’s progressive colt is taken to shrug off an 8lb rise. Mutarabby narrowly beat Mukalal over track and trip last time but the latter is fancied to take advantage of today’s revised terms and reverse running while Moolazim clearly didn’t act on the soft ground at Doncaster last time but had won under Ryan Moore at Yarmouth earlier. Tumbaga drops back down in class and distance while Casimiro and Kharbetation have more scope than most.
