In depth
Verdict
Mutafawwig returns from a lengthy absence having made a winning debut over 6f at Doncaster in 2019 for which he’s penalised. Another Godolphin runner in VALIANT PRINCE (NAP) is preferred as he was only beaten a length at Newmarket last month by a horse rated 90. Pride Of Priory showed some promise when third at Chelmsford on his debut while Karuoka debuts for new connections having placed at Bath and is another to consider. The US-bred Jacalan is preferred to Balqaa of the newcomers.
