Mustashry will be hard to beat if he's 100% after 280 days off the track but with a slight concern over his fitness, EUGINIO is preferred after an excellent run at Royal Ascot last time out. Connect is the only three-year-old in the line up and Clive Cox's colt has already won at Listed level; with a less exposed profile than his rivals, he may be capable of a big run.
