Successful at Lingfield, Ourmullion faces a much tougher task in this higher grade but Mums The Word was third to the progressive Gilgamesh last month and the latter has won again since. Poetic Force came up short off today’s mark here a couple of days ago when ahead of Dreaming Time but Indian Dandy just missed out at Newcastle on his handicap debut and can figure. MUSTARRID has not raced since winning a maiden at Wolverhampton in October but he beat a subsequent dual winner five lengths on that occasion and will likely prove popular with Ryan Moore on board today.
