Verdict
MUBHIJAH wasn’t at her best on slow ground at Newmarket last time but is rated 80 on last year’s best form and finished in front of Nigiri when placed at Headquarters in October. She’s also preferred to stablemate Mathematician while Fly Zone was six lengths behind the winner when runner-up at Yarmouth, though finished ahead of Covert Legend. Meydan winner Royal Dubai is penalised on his debut for a new yard but Leading Lion and Louaizeh are newcomers to note.
