The combination of a longer trip and cheekpieces has seen MOSTAQQER come into his own. He’s won twice over track and trip in his last three outings and a penalty is unlikely to anchor him in this given the ease of his latest victory. Galidermes’ win at Doncaster came on soft ground over 1m4f and Tundra is preferred back on this surface for the first time since scoring here in March. Nine Elms and Diamond Jill are others expected to do better back on the all-weather today.
