In depth

Verdict

Paul Hanagan is principally here for the ride on the Elzaam colt Mutahaady, who is a half-brother to useful winners over 6f and 7f and should be winning soon. But COSMIC BEAU has the benefit of experience and stayed on strongly once the penny dropped when fourth on his debut at Doncaster. That pair are preferred to well-beaten Leicester runner-up Billy's Boots but market support for either Berkshire Boy or the speedily-bred Mister Sunshine should be noted.
