In depth

Verdict

Mutawaffer, Fremen and Jubilee Street catch the eye here, with top weight Mutawaffer taken to come out on top. Fremen put a losing run behind him with a comprehensive seven length success at Musselburgh last time. He is respected in that sort of form but this represents a distinct rise in class and he is passed over. Jubilee Street won at Haydock in April but has gone up the handicap as a consequence and despite some creditable efforts in defeat, he has failed to score again. A place may be the best he can hope for. Mutawaffer hasn't¿t won for almost three years but his effort last time once again saw him run well as he chased home the useful Banknote in a tough Haydock handicap. He was denied room in the closing stages and raised only a pound, he looks set to go one better. Mutawaffer can lead them home.
