Verdict

Harry Redknapp is the owner of MOKTASAAB and the latter has hit the back of the net twice since switching out of his previous ownership. There looks more to come while Bad Company beat Good Birthday at Newmarket last time having earlier finished behind Soto Sizzler when the latter won over course and distance in April and Ryan Moore renews his association with David Menuisier’s veteran. Cap Francais won a valuable handicap at Newmarket before beaten at Chester while Royal Champion lost his action on reappearance at Doncaster and can surely do better today.
