Verdict

Top Notch Tonto beat Gabrial to win this last year but the latter has improved since and this looks a tougher renewal. Muwaary and Mutakayyef share they same owner for different trainers and are both rated 112. They are also both returning from lay-offs with the former having his first outing since 2014 but still the preferred choice of Paul Hanagan. Jallota has won a couple of decent handicaps over 7f here but that looks his best trip while Sovereign Debt and You're Fired may also find at least a couple too good in this company. MINDUROWNBUSINESS (NAP) returns to the Turf having won five times on the all-weather since scoring at Epsom in 2014. Roger Varian’s charge has every chance on these terms and should run a big race.
