Andy Oliver must be reasonably pleased with the 5lb rise alloted to MUTASAREB after he gained his second success in three starts on this track last week. Joseph O'Brien again takes the reins and the combination can see off First Friday and Captain Henry, who weren't too far behind a week ago. Anna Montana had been in quite good form over a mile before well beaten behind Bramante a week ago when the disappointing Try Freedom was behind. Shisha Threesixty was having his first start in a handicap when catching the eye here early last month and looks the type to go well from this lowly mark.
