Verdict
Mumtaaz is a likely improver for the Gosden yard and Fierospeed finished a decent third at Haydock on his recent debut. Dashing Spirit finished in front of Super Den when runner-up at Wolverhampton and is another to consider but Bullfinch returns to action carrying a penalty for November’s victory at Chelmsford. Alqifaar is another having her first start of the year but LONG HAIRED LOVER will be sharper for a comeback run when just missing out over course and distance and she can go one better with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins.
