In depth
Verdict
LOMU has been in the mix in tougher sprints recently. He recorded a double at Wolverhampton at this time last year and David Loughane’s charge can go close returning to the Tapeta now back on a winning mark. Mutabaahy bids for a hat-trick on the back of victories at Wolverhampton and is only 2lb higher looking to confirm earlier running with Another Angel while Outrage was beaten only a neck at Lingfield last time and is another to consider.
