Verdict

AL MUBHIR was a clear-cut winner of this race 12 months ago and while he's 7 lb higher this time round, the 5-y-o looks the way to go with conditions in his favour. Next on the list is Raadobarg, who was a solid third in the Irish Lincoln on return last month and he probably shouldn't be judged too harshly on his subsequent Newbury defeat. Magic Memories was behind Look Back Smiling and Thunder Roar at Doncaster but he is entitled to come on for that run and is third choice.

  1. AL MUBHIR
