In depth
Verdict
A good way to round off the card and Mister Mustard is given a slender vote to round off the meeting in the best possible style. The penalised Patriarch Express along with Cordilla, Kelly's Pride and Torche are others to place high on the short list and will make this an informative contest for future engagements. However, Mister Mustard may hold sway for now and can provide the key to a tricky finale. The Ian Williams-trained six-year-old ran well for a long way when he was just edges out in a similar contest over course and distance at the start of this month, and with that effort in mind, improvement looks imminent. Mister Mustard may just have needed the run after seven months off last time and he is expected to hold on for glory today if this does not come around too soon.
