MUHTARIS had just four runs on the level for Godolphin, winning two of them. He's with the right man to continue on the upgrade and can make a successful start to his new career. Aldopicgros won a bumper in France but has been beaten in both starts over timber for Paul Nicholls, the latest when long odds-on at Plumpton. His pedigree suggests he'll come into his own over fences. Wooly Bully scored over the course and distance before failing to match the pace of Keltus in a slowly-run affair at Chepstow. His penalty gives him a difficult task against the selection while French recruit Sun Wild Life looks as though he'll need a stiffer test.
