Muthabir won at Huntingdon in December but has been beaten three times since off today’s mark. DAKLONDIKE’s victory at Lingfield in the autumn came when the emphasis was on stamina. He didn’t have the pace to cope over 2m here in February and should relish this step up in distance having already scored over 3m between the flags. Milord got back to winning ways over track and trip last month and should go well again, despite a 5lb rise, but The Last But One will need to take a step forward to figure.
