Verdict
Maasai Mara is upped in trip on his reappearance having been gelded since last in action and is also fitted with blinkers. THROUGH THE AGES is preferred as he found only one too good over 1m2f at Newcastle on a recent debut and the Godolphin half-brother to a couple of Group 1 winners will appreciate this extra distance. Another Run finished last of three over a longer trip at Lingfield while stablemate Hampden Park makes his debut along with Queen Of Steel and Flowers, who is related to winners at the highest level in North America.
