In depth
Verdict
Mulligans Fool, Stocks n' Shares and Time To sine look the ones to concentrate on in the opener with slight preference for Mulligans Fool. The gelding from the Alex Hales yard was a good second behind Shaadiva last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Stocks n'Shares rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Six Pack over this trip last time. However, his best form is over a longer distance so for that reason is opposed. Time To Shine is also worthy of respect. He won well on his debut over hurdles when defeating Feanor. However that was in a seller and this looks much more competitive. Of the remainder Jawwala is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Mulligans Fool.
