A chance for MR WAGYU to return to the winning beat. John Quinn's charge has been in great heart on recent starts, gets on very well with Jason Hart and ran a solid race last time when third behind the progressive How Far. He runs off an unchanged mark and a good run is anticipated. There are rarely any concerns about a Sir Mark Prescott contender returning from an absence so Bath And Tennis is seen as a real danger off a mark of 80. His best has come on artificial surfaces but he's still quite lightly-raced on Turf and has scope for improvement. Lucky Lucky Man was better last time, Mushahadaat should come on for her reappearance and Mutabaahy is solid and consistent. Indeed the latter is well worth a place on the shortlist.
