Cost 100,000 gns as a yearling and signs of ability when beaten 4L into fifth over 1m here last month. Worth a check in the market ahead of his second start here.

Beaten a short-head when making his debut over 6f at Newmarket (good-to-firm). Evidently had his issues as unraced since then and an interesting runner in this.

Beaten 12L at Windsor (good-to-firm) on his debut earlier this month. Others make more appeal in this contest for a yard better known for their handicap successes.

Verdict

MUTOONDRESDASHORSE ran well to finish runner-up when making his debut last year and he can go one better by taking this maiden contest. The selection represents a yard that have taken this event in the past and he can get the better of Balestra who was green first time out and is sure to have benefited from the experience while Alqalsar who ran well here last month can claim third.
