Verdict
The revised terms give Mutasallil every chance of reversing recent form with Wunderwood over this longer trip and he can register another success for Godolphin at a meeting that they will remember for a long time to come. Many of the rest have been a little below form lately and the likes of Bagan, Albanov and Pagan Dance now have a little to prove, while Ovambo is a prime candidate for the bounce and is best watched. Hello It's Me is finding it hard to get his head in front and continually finds at least a couple too good. Which could well be Wunderwood and Mutasallil today. With the latter getting the vote as he is 3lb better off for three parts of length from the last time they met.
