In depth
Verdict
Mudlahhim was partnered by a 7lb claimer when winning here in August and has been beaten since while Follow Your Heart is penalised for scoring over track and trip earlier in the week. FLATLEY made a belated racecourse debut in June and ran his best race so far when beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton. There looks more to come and he gets the vote to open his account. Freedom And Wheat returns from a lay-off with a chance but Diavolo hasn’t raced since June and has switched yards along with Doolin Dancer, a maiden winner in Ireland.
