Verdict
Richard Mullen is in unstoppable form at present and would have had the choice of Satish Seemar's pair here. He's opted for Year Of Glory, runner-up to a promising stablemate a fortnight ago when Marc Monaghan was using his claim. Close-up third that day was State Law, who is now 6lb better off and likely to reverse the form under Pat Dobbs, another rider who has been in good form. MUTAHADDITH made a belated racecourse debut at Jebel Ali last month and showed enough potential to get the vote in a moderate maiden such as this. Lord Empire was runner-up for Dave Simcock at Wolverhampton in August but well beaten and made no show on his UAE debut a fortnight ago in a race where Mountain Lion was beaten 11l into third.
