Verdict
MUTAWAFFER was doing all his best work at the finish when fourth at Ascot and this longer trip looks sure to suit on that evidence. The latter comment also applies to Li Kui, a fast-finishing third at Windsor recently when ahead of Dancing Speed while Greenback Boogie improved on his latest start to place at Bath. Shaybani and Siam Dawn are related to winning sprinters and worth noting along with fellow newcomers Pirate and Memento.
