Verdict

Mutasaabeq began the season with an emphatic conditions race success, finished midfield in the 2000 Guineas and then came home out the back in the Jersey Stakes - all of which makes him hard to assess as he looks to get back on track. Fivethousandtoone enjoyed a black type juvenile campaign but was last of 15 on reappearance in the Commonwealth Cup so he's also tricky to evaluate. BARADAR, a good third behind subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas winner, Mac Swiney, at Group 1 level last season, returns to action after a 265-day break. If ready to roll, he could well prove good enough. Asad looks outclassed but otherwise an 'ifs and buts' contest.
