MUTADARREJ is a relatively confident choice to win a race not high on quality. Tony McCoy partners the gelding for the first time and now stepped up to this much longer trip the dual 2m 1f Flat winner, who goes well on fast ground, has plenty going for him and can break his duck in this discipline. Theologist has not won a race of any description in 18 racecourse appearances but he does pop up in the frame and that is once again likely. Little Justice would be only a second career winner for her trainer, but she has a pedigree that suggests she will possess stamina for her hurdles debut. Its Danny Boy may benefit from this step up in trip while Unleashed bled from the nose a couple of starts back and there was no encouragement from his latest effort.
