Verdict

Mujid won an apprentices’ race by 15 lengths at Ffos Las last month but this looks much tougher and he’s gone up 8lb. Bug Boy wasn’t disgraced off this mark when on a hat-trick at Brighton and Hashtagmetoo is rarely beaten far and has been dropped a further pound in the ratings. Boy George was only beaten a neck by Largo Bay at Brighton in June and is 5lb better off and the latter may also struggle to confirm more recent form at that track with Hooves Like Jagger. LIBERATED LAD is potentially well treated back on the Flat so gets a tentative vote, though the in-form Fascinating Lips is a danger.
