In depth
Verdict
Mutarabby’s half-brother won over this trip but he’s been racing over further this year. ADDEYBB (NAP) has the greater scope after just the one start, a staying-on fourth at Newbury which has already produced winners. William Haggas’ gelding is also preferred to newcomers Naaeebb, a stable companion of Mutarabby, and Sharja Bridge, though Roger Varian’s son of Oasis Dream is a full brother to a Group 1 winner in Italy and worth noting for future reference.
