MOHATU was arguably unlucky not to make a winning handicap bow at Lingfield 12 days ago given the momentum he lost when running into the back of the winner in the straight and he's taken to make amends with headgear added. Brave Emperor is progressing very well so must be feared as he bids for a 4-timer, with Dagmar Run also respected.
