The Hannon yard have won two of the last four and ACASTER MALBIS (NAP) can keep up the run in a very tricky race. He was only headed in the dying strides by Gibeon on soft going at Newmarket and today's quicker ground can enable him to hang on. Swot made a bright start behind Sawaahel over 6f at Headquarters and that will have brought him to concert pitch for this while Dissolution caught the eye at Newbury and will improve plenty for the experience. Able Sprit, Beach Samba, Brando, Golden Spun and Bright Flash all made fair debuts and any one of them could improve enough to take this while, of the newcomers, the superbly-bred Muffarreh catches the eye as he's related to numerous classy performers.
