Verdict
Al Moulatham created a good impression when easily making a winning debut in a minor event at Newmarket and is open to plenty of improvement while the form of Mineshaft's Newmarket maiden success has worked out well. Swing Wing failed to act at Chester but has claims on his defeat of Mine Host at Epsom while the highly-regarded Fraulein will be sharper for her recent return.
