Verdict

A good renewal of this Group 3. MODERN NEWS is a 4-y-o who is heading in the right direction and can add to his Spring Cup and Windsor listed wins in recent months. Mutasaabeq looked unlucky not to win the Group 2 Sandown Mile last time and he can provide the chief threat ahead of Megallan.
