Assimilation was due to run at Lingfield yesterday and would carry a penalty today if successful. Ed Walker's charge finished in front of a disappointing Shanghai Grace when runner-up last time while Mustadun is already penalised having won over today’s trip at Newcastle recently. Jeanette May makes little appeal on her racecourse debut but MOFTRIS is a brother to a winner over 7f and a half-brother to another and the William Haggas-trained colt may well be good enough to make a winning start especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
Mustadun 12-1 (8-6) Tracked leader, led over 2f out, pressed inside final furlong, stayed on and always looked to be holding 2nd, won at Newcastle 7f stks (5) pol in Feb beating Conaglen (8-6) by nk, 12 ran.
