MOWGLI took a step back in the right direction when fourth over 7f at Leopardstown last month and is taken to build on that now dropping back to 6f. His former stablemate Es Vedra heads the many dangers along with last-time-out Gowran scorer The Fog Horn and last week's Laytown third Sunday Sovereign.
