Dual novice winner MUTAFAWWIG had been off the track for nearly a year when scoring at Kempton last month. The Godolphin charge can remain unbeaten with further progress expected now handicapping. Stylish Performer won over 7f here with Karibana less than a length behind but Extrodinair is preferred back at this level having rattled-up a hat-trick before beaten in Listed company. Tiger Crusade struggled at Doncaster last time without any apparent excuse while Big Narstie makes more appeal than Nigel Nott over today’s trip.
