Mohatem was unplaced at Doncaster before winning this for Barry Hills last year and Mustajeer made his debut in the same maiden race on Town Moor a fortnight ago. Paul Hanagan prefers him to the newcomer Muzdawaj but his mount needs to reverse Doncaster running with LINGUISTIC. John Gosden's colt finished second on that occasion and that looks stronger form than Dark Forest's placed effort at Leicester. Of the newcomers, Impediment is worth noting and Plenary and Mengli Khan look their stables first string while Towerlands Park is a brother to graded winner in the States.
