      Verdict

      Mojalid has proved a most progressive performer and will be hard to beat in his hat-trick bid. The son of Zafonic showed the benefit of his initial start when a comfortable maiden winner in June and follwed up in a Leicester handicap the following month. Open to plenty of improvement, he can overcome a subsequent 6lb rise. Prairie Wolf came good at Goodwood last time but is not the most consistent Hasty Prince's recent effort can be ignored (stumbled) and may give the selection most to fear.
