Who'sthedude attempted to make all over 7f at Salisbury last time and nearly succeeded. But this extra furlong is not certain to suit and the likes of Belgrade, Directional and The Twisler may all improve past him with recent debut runs under their belts. London Mayor and Londonia are worth noting in the betting, but fellow newcomer MUSTARD is entered in the Group 2 Royal Lodge at the end of this month so the Stoute colt may well be good enough to land this.
