The progressive DHUSHAN had plenty left in the tank when beating Glen Again at Musselburgh on last month’s handicap debut. The Haggas colt can take a further step forward in this and get the better of Mystical Dawn. The Godolphin charge has been gelded since going close at Haydock in May while Surrey Gold bolted up at Newbury in the same month but has a 12lb hike in the weights to contend with. Pleasant Man won at Salisbury recently and is preferred to First Light while Irish Legend steps up in trip after placing over 1m2f in soft ground here last month.
