Sir Michael Stoute has a good strike rate with the few runners he sends here and MUSTASHRY (NAP) has leading claims. The latter was runner-up at Chelmsford to a subsequent handicap winner last month. Sunglider was placed in Ireland for Dermot Weld last year and has his first start for David O’Meara. He could figure with the likes of Hayward Field and Sabre Squadron also looking to improve. Phantom Dancer can be forgiven a below-par effort at Southwell having run well on her earlier racecourse debut at Redcar and the newcomer Wallangarra is worth a second glance as he’s a half-brother to the useful all-weather performer Mindurownbusiness.
