Mutahaady landed a treble with a victory at Epsom in September when well ahead of Kodiac Khan. He’s been upped a further 8lb, however, while Colonel Frank is 6lb higher after scoring at Goodwood last month. KANANEE finished tailed off in the Windsor Castle at Ascot in June when his yard was under a cloud. But he won his first couple of outings and, with this extra distance likely to suit, Saeed Bin Suroor’s colt can get back to winning ways. Zamjar and Himself were both returning from lay-offs last time and can finish closer.
