Verdict

This is highly competitive but the Gosdens' MUTAAWID created an excellent impression when a wide-margin recent scorer at Newmarket and can defy a 10 lb weights hike with relatively few miles still on the clock. Have Secret arrives in excellent nick and could emerge as the chief threat, although Botanical commands plenty of respect back in handicap company and Ashariba, Flying Finn and Westerton all need factoring in too.
