Materialist was a costly failure last time when going down without too much of a fight. It was a similar story on his juvenile debut and there must be concerns regarding his temperament. It is possible he is just immature but he remains one to be cautious about until getting his head in front. MATHIX represents a stable that place their horses well here and the jockey booking also catches the eye given his excellent strike rate for them. The gelding has run into a couple of smart horses on his last two starts and clearly has the ability to win a race of this standard. Lamloom made a brave bid to make all last time and is feared with his yard hitting form.
