Verdict
MUTARABBY may edge this returning to a shorter trip having posted a better effort at Southwell last time. He’s closely matched with the veteran Lopes Dancer on these terms so the latter is another to consider while Epic Pass has a shout at the weights, though is fitted with a tongue-tie after a poor effort last month. Victory Star has more to find on these terms as he drops down in class.
