In depth
Verdict
The Godolphin pair Conquerant and Crowded are both probably capable of better than they showed last time, the former floundering in soft ground at Haydock and the latter better for his opening run on the same track when the trip looked too short. Marcus Tregoning's newcomer Haydn's Lass is related to a host of winners, mostly over this sort of trip, so she's one to note for the future but MUSTADAAM will be difficult to beat. He's another who couldn't handle the ground at Haydock and was beaten when odds-on for his previous start on this track but his overall form gives him the edge though he's not one to take a short price about.
