Mutawed has new connections after running three times for Freddie Head in France and it remains to be seen how he handles the much faster conditions. Pershing is another to have transferred to Ireland after being claimed following a defeat when a short-priced favourite at Windsor and is taking a big drop in trip. CHIEF SUSPECT was also well supported last time when attempting to make all at Dundalk and being caught in the final strides. He'd run well at Galway earlier and this should prove within his capabilities. Broadway Musical ran twice for Richard Hannon at Kempton last autumn and Willie McCreery will get the best out of her in time.
