DHALAM only won a maiden at Wolverhampton when last in action back in May but a host of subsequent winners have come out of the race. The Gosden colt may well be good enough in an open contest on his return. The progressive Musical Terms bids for a hat-trick having won over track and trip on his latest outing and is preferred to the other recent winners Cainhoe Star and Procurator while Devil's Bridge and Whosyourhousemate arrive on the back of placed efforts and Waarif ran well at Newcastle on his belated seasonal debut.
