Ed Dunlop has his team in good order at present and the Newmarket handler may be able to add to the score with Mubeen. The son of Barathea was outclassed in a Listed event on his final start as a juvenile but had won two of his previous four starts including a minor event at Salisbury which makes him a strong candidate at this level. Inch Again has a similar profile in that he recorded back-to-back wins in useful company before facing an impossible task in the Racing Post Trophy. The son of Inchinor has to be feared in receipt of 4lb while Salsalino wasn't beaten far in the Solario and will be sharper for a recent outing on the all-weather. Boston Lodge is a little more exposed than most but is a useful yardstick to the form and will prove no pushover.
