Verdict
Ghassan represents last year’s winning yard and drops down in trip after placing over 7f at Chelmsford while Atomic Impact finished third at the same track last month and the winner has since landed a Group 3. But MUTAANY found only a subsequent handicap winner too good at Wolverhampton when finishing clear of the rest and Charlie Hills’ colt may prove the one to side with. Sajwaan debuts for a new yard having left Roger Varian and the latter runs 200,000gns newcomer Almaty Star while Kerdos is another to note.
