Verdict
MUSH MIR had begun to disappoint on Polytrack but a switch to this surface proved a wise move and he can defy a double penalty. Jim Boyle's charge had Calculating behind when winning over 1m4f here before following up over C&D last week. He beat Rosewood Lad last time and the latter had proved too good for today's rival Delorain before that. Stadium Of Light still looks too high in the weights while King In Waiting hasn't raced since June last year and William's Way has done all his recent winning in amateur races.
