Mutarabby overcame a slow start to win here last time but the handicapper has punished him harshly. Having missed the break previously he can ill afford to do so on these terms and he is opposed, despite the yard's excellent record here in 2017. The stable also saddle Tumbaga who has an excellent AW record and a market move would be significant. La Rav, Kharbetation and Casimiro are a couple of lightly raced types with room to improve but preference is for MOOLAZIM off bottom weight with Ryan Moore on board. If overlooking his latest run on soft ground, he had produced a bright turn of foot to score here and at Yarmouth where he won with a lot in hand. The stable have been in better form lately and he can get back to winning ways here.
